In the 1960's, she worked for the hospital. It was a mixture but they would still separate everything from blacks. They would beat you if you talked to a white store clerk. The blacks couldn't go to school but the whites could.
She was at the beauty when King was assassinated. After the beauty shop, she had to go back to work, but she knew something was going to happen to him. She had to go to work that night with the riots going on. She was unable to join them because she had to sleep in the morning.
She thought King was a great man. She thought he was an even greater because he wanted to equal our rights. After his death, they would still act like he is around. They would close bus stations and restraints to restrict riots. She said it was nothing like it is today.
