I was born just a few years after the desegregation of the military, on
USMC Base Quantico, VA, and my dad was active duty until I was 30. Growing
up on military bases, the schools I went to were never segregated. Nothing
on the base was segregated except by rank. When Dad was stationed at Camp
LeJeune, NC, 1959-63, I got to see what segregation was. Driving off the
base was like driving into a different world. There were "Whites Only'
signs in windows, and "No coloreds allowed" signs cont.
continued- There were shacks that were about to fall down, always with
blacks living in them. I remember standing in line at the Sears store at
age 5 and looking behind me. I saw four doors, which were separate
restrooms.. No one had to tell me that it was due to whites thinking they
were better than blacks. It made me feel ashamed to be white. Thankfully,
through the effort and sacrifices of many people, things began to change. I
greatly appreciate those who made it happen.
