I originally posted this 2nd photo back in August 2019, but I recently found my campaign speech, so I wanted to share it with y’awl again!...When I was attending Bremerton (Coontz) Junior High, there was a kid named Robin Fields who kept buggin’ me to run for Boys’ Club President. My first response was “forget it!” because I thought he was absolutely crazy. **This was back in 1946 & Blacks were still considered “Negroes/The Colored”, & the school was almost 98% white.** But after I met kids like Robin Fields & Dennis Washington (who I used to shine shoes with), I began to realize that many of these kids didn’t seem to have the same prejudice as adults....You have to be taught how to hate. So, I ran for Boys’ Club President, & man, I was shocked when I won. It meant a lot as a 13 year old kid, & taught me a great deal about trust & kindness. By the time I graduated Coontz & entered James A. Garfield High School in Seattle in 1947, I had gained something I didn’t have before: confidence. So, as a reminder, if you’ve been taught how to hate, there’s still time to teach yourself how to LOVE.
