I got my hall pass, opened the door to a policeman who said, "Are you nuts? Get back in your class right now!" At one end of the hall was a group of black kids, at the other a group of white kids. I feel so lucky that I was clueless about the whole situation. At any rate, I remember the "black" high school, I remember playing them in football. They were an amazing team! This movie was literally written about those years I attended high school in Northern Virginia. This was an actual event that occured. As I look back on it all, I am once again reminded that not everyone is open to other races as I try to be, and still have hope for our future.
