Today we would say "1970 was a game changer for me." In reality, my world changed. I moved from the safety of my grandmother's back yard and my segregated school into a world where I had to talk to people who didn't look like me. I put my feelings to paper about "The Impact of School Integration on Black Students" and won a much needed college book scholarship for my freshman year.
A few years ago someone spoke the words "Rite of Passage" to me and off I went into a world of possibilities about what I had heard and what I know.
What a blessing it is when someone sees in you what you don't see in yourself. A friend literately badgered me into applying for the Florida Humanities Council's "Road Scholar's" program portraying Dr. Bethune. Now a legend guides me with her words and "Through Me She Lives".
Through it all, what is my foundation for joy is my beloved "Rhythm Memory."
