We had the old raggedy buses, we got all the raggedy books. We never got new books - they were always somebody's name in them. When the new books come in, they gave them to the White kids.
My mother told us to be nice and civil to everybody. Say 'yes, ma'am' and 'no, ma'am,' 'yes, sir' and all that. She said you need to be courteous whether they're White or Black or whatever. But she said, you're going to find out in life that you're not going to have the same privileges as the Whites will have.
