I rejected the notion that my race or sex would bar my success in life.
When Thurgood Marshall became a lawyer, race relations in the United States were particularly bad.
In high school, I discovered myself. I was interested in race relations and the legal profession. I read about Lincoln and that he believed the law to be the most difficult of professions.
Whites would rather not be involved in race matters, I think.
Today's white majority is largely silent about the race question.
