Southern towns were black‚ they had no vote and could not marry whites. Also in the 1930’s‚ many black people lived in the southern states. During that time‚ racism reached its highest point.

African booty-scratcher is what they used to call me‚ and awkward laughter was always the response. Growing up‚ I learned to hate my heritage and skin color. I was never exposed to African girls or black people in general being praised by the media. I used to deny my culture and assert that “I wasn’t like other black people.” Even though I moved to America at a young age‚ I was raised with traditional Rwandan values so I had trouble making friends.
