The Race Card Project

As a high school sophomore in 1955, I attended our school system’s Oratorical Contest. The finalists were a white girl from my high school and a black boy from St.Augustine H.S. We attended the contest in a high school auditorium. The black boy won. He walked out with a huge trophy. We boarded the bus together, but the boy had to sit behind a COLORED ONLY sign. Made me feel sick and angry to see that. I have never forgotten it.
