Jim Crow Washington Still, Ten D C.

I'm a second generation native of washington, ten d c. My parents were civil rights activists. When i was eight or nine, they would take me downtown for the sit ends in the lunch counters. The only place where black people could eat at a table were the government cateteras and one capeteria owned by a tri man named shol. So this is the city i grew up in, as did my mother. Her high school was transferred from the white division to the so called negro division. And even though brown was 54, and immigration had come to the restaurants in mid fifties and lake fifties, its still jim crow in many regards.
