When I was twelve years old,my family were the first black people to move into an all white part of Grand Rapids,Michigan. Many of our new neighbors weren't very welcoming. Some of them said angrily that we should return to where we came from. The children sometimes threw stones at me or drove me home from school.
Most of my teachers simply took no notice of me,but not Dorothy Bean,my history teacher. Miss Bean was angry at how badly I was being treated,but she didn't say this to me.
