During the turmoil, I was living in New York and everyone kept asking me, "your such nice guy, how can you be from Mississippi"?

I then moved to Little Rock and everyone kept asking me, "your such nice guy, how can you be from New York"?

We were in Mississippi for Christmas in 1961 and my father took home movies of blacks and whites playing baseball together and everyone in NY was shocked to see them.

No doubt they were shocked. I remember how the media
portrayed us at that time, even though I was a child.

That's an aspect of Mississippi that is inconvenient
for some to recognize. And, it's the Mississippi
that I grew up in. Most of the new stories bore little
resemblance to every day life.
