<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DionHurst, post: 1125962, member: 26482&quot;]I would probably like to have one of those signs, just to have as a reminder of how things once were!&nbsp; I know kids these days can&#039;t even conceive these things. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Well I know these things were around during the time of my mother, and she would drink from &quot;White Only&quot; faucets just to prove the point that there were many Blacks with very light complexions that Whites couldn&#039;t tell they were Black. She would tell me that men would stand on the buses so that she wouldn&#039;t have to sit at the back of the bus with the &quot;Colored People&quot;.&nbsp; They would stand in the crowded movie because the only seats left were in the balcony where &quot;Coloreds&quot; sat.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m from Spring, TX and in my neighborhood was a Black Only school that my oldest brother went to before they integrated! It is now a community park, and the office is the school house. </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess it was her way of holding her own protest against the racist times. She probably could have been in very big trouble if they knew she was Black.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
