Once upon a time, in a small town near Birmingham, there lived a regular black family who was struggling for their lives in a hostile society. With three kids, Jimmy Bruce, and Kiki, the father and mother, Jarome and Martha, were subjected into working hard for their children. Not many black families were able to succeed in this cruel world of the 1960's. The kids, each being too young and of the wrong race at this point in time, were unable to attend a school or even go to church. Instead, they went to a friend's house whose mom taught them things. This was their school. The life of this family was totally obscene. One day Kiki, their 12-year-old daughter, went for a walk in what they thought was a safe town. While she was walking down the street many racial slurs and comments were made toward her. White people were rare to these parts of the town, but every once in a while, a bunch of white kids, whom just graduated from high school, would drive around the peaceful town of cardboard boxes and lean tubes and yell out and even throw things at the black folks who were unrightfully segregated. As Kiki walked back to her home in an abandoned shack in the middle of a one-acre field, she had tears dripping from her precious brown eyes.
Not knowing why they were saying this, all of them would deny everything and pretend that these kids were just trying to make fun of them. "What the he-, oh my GOD! Randy!" she screamed hysterically. A heart attack had brought him to his grave. Colleges were still very new to blacks. When the screams from the boy let out, his mother came running. He and his father worked the fields and animals, while Margaret and eventually Kiki cleaned the house every day and did other odd jobs around the yard. Rest and nutrition was all she needed. They ran out of their shack to see their little boy lying in a pool of blood next to the outhouse. She had become good friends with on e of the other workers on the farm and obviously become intimate with him. This arrangement seemed to work well to help bring them closer together. Martha, Bruce and Kiki all found work, and also found a church that provided education for families that could not afford it. Washington, if the greatest thing in my life is to prove you wrong, I will be a happy man. He told Jimmy that if the non-violent revolution occurred as he planned, the black man and the white man would be able to walk together hand in hand into the 20th century. Kiki was at the office for long, exhausting hours every day, but at least she was doing something she believed in. It was like a dream come true to marry a rich and successful man.
