Abstract
‘Believing that it was God’s will that we should not mix, I consistently refused to shake the hand of a black man, even a teacher or a professional. And I was dumbfounded one time when I heard an Englishman, a school inspector, refer to an African woman as a “Lady”. I thought, “Well, it’s because he doesn’t know better.” So I dismissed it.’
