I believe if the white and colored people could get together and be let alone, they would understand each other and consequently love each other.
I have walked into the palaces of kings and queens and into the houses of presidents. And much more.
All men can live together, if they wish to.
The hate directed against the colored people here in St. Louis has always given me a sad feeling because when I was a little girl I remember the horror of the East St. Louis race riot.
I ran away from St. Louis, and then I ran away from the United States, because of that terror of discrimination.
