RRRA — It was actually sitting….For once I was not too young to tag along with my older sister.
Was 15/16…seems so long ago….
A group of my sister’s friends joined with some others for a sit down..Refused to leave the counter with our friends who happened to be black. Our black friends tried to order Lunch and some of us even tried to order lunch for them.
This group of about a dozen or so remained respectful, cooperative and peaceful throughout the whole ordeal. We were handcuffed, and called many things by the officers taking all of us into custody. Do remember a few of the older black men telling the police I was under 18/age (??), only 16 and to not use such language towards me. Handcuffs were so tight that my fingers tuned blue for a while, then they loosened them a bit. My wrists were black and blue for weeks after that. I was almost booked into the regular city jail, but then put in some other building, Juvenile Hall I think? I think it was the second time I was arrested for this, that I came out with a shiner and a bit sore due to few other kids in the holding room hitting on me. My screams for help went unheeded, which was not unusual Many of those in these groups often came out of jail with a few added bruises; white and black. One of my sister’s friends lost all his back teeth while in jail, In this situation, one was better off in the black side of jail, yet it was their way of teaching us whites a lesson I guess by putting us with other whites.
To be so young, innocent and idealistic again…Was so many years ago.
I do understand that in the deeper south it would have been much worse for us. This was in Houston, Texas.

Rev. Amy—Some of the Texas Dems that I mentioned, took time off to go volunteer and work for Obama in other states, after Hillary won the Texas Primary. They wanted to ensure that other states didn’t make the same mistake Texas did! And of course, the sinister tricks they pulled at county and state conventions in Texas are legend now. It is really, really heartbreaking…..And so far, to our knowledge, none of them are admitting PUBLICLY that they made a mistake.

And bless you, Rev. Amy….and I know several of us will be thinking of you around Mother’s Day this year, as it will be a difficult one for you. You’re in our thoughts!

Rev. Amy, you are too kind! And yes, we have a picture, and you’re right, a generations photo is a great idea, and a gift for future generations, too.
BTW, meant to say that at the end of the day yesterday, when we took my daughter and baby home to their ranch, we were greeted at the gate by their sweet horses! Now that’s the way to end the day! What else could you ask for in life…..except maybe a woman President!

Well said, CA, well said indeed, on all counts! Thank you! (I would love to hear more abt your walking with the Civil Rights movement, too!)

Like I have said on many blogs === Its okay to disagree…but leave the name calling at the door…..All of it

Hey I was not racist because I disagreed with GW and I’m still not racist because I backed Hillary….

I also know how it feels to have the N word aimed at you…Walking with the Civil Rights movement didn’t seem to leave much room for skin color…No matter your skin color the N ….. word was aimed at you sometimes White N…..aimed specifically at you, either way we all knew the intent…

Ann Richards – WHAT a treasure she was. Such an incredible woman.

How fortunate you are, Cindy, to have known her personally! Wow! And I bet you’re right, too, abt Hillary…

PE, you can leave as many comments as you want!

I hear you abt those folks like FF, PO, et al, but honestly, it’s so nice to have good, thoughtful, passionate responses here that are from the heart, and not people trying to rile everyone up just for the hell of it, you know? And you KNOW they always have to talk smack abt our Hillary.

I don’t mean to imply everyone has to agree here – not at all – but there are ways of having actual discussions that are RESPECTFUL, and those folks seem to leave the respect for others at home.

Honestly, I would hope that somewhere, way fdown deep, those people you mentioned know Obama is not the man he presented himself to be, and that he did not just a grave disservice to Hillary as a woman, but to ALL of us as women, with his treatment of her. BUt he would not be where he is if he didn’t play off the rampant sexism of this culture. He and they have just deflected from that by playing the race card constantly.

Anyway – it has been a lovely discussion here, and I appreciate people sharing so much of themselves. Thank you!

You are so sweet, Cindy – what a lovely thing to say! Truly my pleasure, and I thought of you with each post I did on this topic (since you expressed an interest early in the monthe).

I have to say again, your retelling of your day was just so beautiful. I read it to my partner, and had to stop near the end until I stopped crying. We BOTH were crying, it was so beautifully written (and the image of your mother, too, having lost mine two months ago…).

Bless you, friend!

Cindy, your comment literally brought tears to my eyes…What a great story; what a great DAY.

I do hope y’all have made a “Generations” photo. My brother had one made with my grandmother, my mom, himself, and his first child (a girl). It is a cherished photo – by all of us.

Wow – beautifully said, Cindy. You are incredible!

Great, great story, Diana. Thank you so much for sharing it, and your heroes, with us.

How wonderful that you had a teacher who saw you for you – what a gift, what a blessing!

You rock, PE! And I could not agree more. I have been amazed and awed by the incredible women here nd elsewhere), who won’t back down, who keep fighting for what’s right, and do so with grace and dignity. Y’all are some mighty fine women!!

Diana–I was fortunate to have been an acquaintance of Ann’s.
And let me tell you, there were many yellow-bellied liver-lillied Tx. Democratic men (and women) who did not support Hillary in the Texas primary. If Ann had been alive, they would have, because they enjoyed benefitting from Ann’s influence..i.e. they sucked-up to her because of what she could do for their political careers. With Ann’s death, Hillary’s fate was partially sealed, in my opinion.
