"I had a friend who lived nearby. He was white. We were playing basketball in my yard one day when he said, nonchalanrly, "would you believe what my uncle sald to me?" He said, "I’ll give you a quarter if you stop playing with those little colored boys, and for Christ’s sake, stop going over to their house." "I took his quarter," he added, "that’s why you didn’t see me yesterday," from Ambassador Andrew Young’s book, An Easy Burden
