Lenray Gandy: “The earliest memory I have is our parents and friends and neighbors teaching us about what we should do and what we shouldn't do. We had to make sure that we behaved in certain ways and there was a different world, black and white world where if we walked down the sidewalk and a white man was coming toward us we had to look down upon the ground. And if a white woman walked down that same sidewalk we would have to walk out in the street, couldn't walk down the same sidewalk. We couldn't ride in the front of the buses. We couldn't use certain facilities, restrooms and different things around town. If we wanted to go and buy a pair of shoes or clothing they could only hold the shoe up, we couldn't try them on. We couldn't try on a cap. I mean, imagine you're living in a society, somewhere where blacks and whites cannot even talk to each other, cannot work together and all of a sudden someone comes to help you, someone who is white and he treats you like a human and naturally we just, we just bonded.”
