I was instructed to not join the other kids in name calling or to allow them to persuade me to hit the black child on the back of the head. After a few days of name calling by a couple of children who had been instructed to do so by their parents, Sam Herron was accepted by most of the White children in Boaz and he eventually graduated from Boaz High School along with a few of his cousins.<br /><br />We have come a long way and still have a long way to go.Robby Scott Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625575128616865817noreply@blogger.com
