Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Hi Brenda, I know that you research thoroughly as the events are accurately written...and now that you've lived in that era then it just adds more authenticity. For me, I was mostly hinting at an epilogue again...like I would love to read about their lives years later and with my saying "I'd like to think that as time goes on people in that decade became more tolerant"...was me thinking that by 1975-1979 things were getting better with race relations. I didn't grow up in the era but I sometimes romanticize the 70s...I just think it was cool decade, lol. I also know someone who grew up in that same era that you did...and was asked out on dates by white men (I don't know what year this was ) and of course this person politely declined.
Author's Response: LOL I graduated in 1975. It was a wonderful time. I made friends with some white girls while in high school but I really thought that white guys weren't attracted to black girls because the black guys would talk to white girls, but not the other way around. From what I read in later years, white guys back then didn't think that black girls wanted them either. LOL
I probably will do an epilogue on the story. I've gotten a lot of postive response from this story.
I've always wanted to write a story that was during civil rights/jim crow era. I may do another later.
Now I must admit that my sister dated and later married a white guy and I can't begin to tell you the grief that they caught, but he didn't help matters either but that's another story for another day.
Thanks for your review!
