I finally learned to touch that hurt in me as I became older and began to talk about the Southern freedom movement, and began to connect my stories with the stories of my other colleagues and freedom fighters, who, like me, had faced deadly trauma of racism, and who had lost friends along the way, and who themselves have been beaten and thrown in jail.
Por fim, aprendi a lidar com aquela minha dor quando fiquei mais velha e comecei a falar sobre  o Movimento de Liberdade do Sul, e comecei a ligar as minhas histórias com as histórias de outros colegas e lutadores pela liberdade, que, como eu, haviam enfrentado  o trauma letal do racismo e que tinham perdido amigos pelo caminho, e aqueles que tinham sido espancados e atirados para a cadeia.
