Segregation in the 1990s
JESSICA TILSON by T, 2017 4700.2740 Tape 4712
The people I grew up with--we all know this. But when I talk to people on the internet, like my friends in the north, they don't. They can't process it when I tell them, “No. I was segregated. I wasn't allowed to do this. And no, I wasn't allowed to sit here.” And to them they can't process because we are the exact same age, and they can't see that blacks and whites grew up like that. We still had to still use the back door in the nineties when I was little. So, it’s one of those...it's hard trying to explain to them and they're like, “What?” And me, I don’t understand how they didn’t experience that because we all... all me and my friends experienced that. So why didn't yall experience that? So, it’s one of those . . . it’s like a culture shock because you're telling me you didn’t go through it, and I’m telling you that I went through it.
