Fitjereld's Refusal to Talk About Her Time at the Training School

fitjereld avoided stigma by refusing to talk about her time at the training school She spoke in interviews about running numbers and working at the brothel It wasn't that she'd done something illegal I'm not sure why she didn't talk about it But maybe it was just too painful because on top of all the other indignities and abuses of life at a segregated reformatory There was one thing that must have hurt fitjerell especially Morse's all white choir wouldn't let her sing with them.
