We lived in apartments in the city.
I learned to be quiet at a very early age 
so as not to disturb the neighbors.
All around me was the noise of the city.
It was background.

 

As a small child 
with family from the deep South
I heard stories
that made me afraid.
Later I learned about diversity 
It opened up my eyes 
and made the world 
a more interesting place.
