The extra money helped, and by the time I was in my teens in the late 1950s we had enough to get one of those fancy new TV.

It wasn’t easy, but a few years later I was a lawyer. In the late ‘60s I knew I could use my education and spirit to help our nation. I took a job working against discrimination.
