Mary Hebert: Well, were there places around campus like bars or restaurants that were not . . . did not freely welcome . . . or did not welcome black students?
Lora Hinton: Yeah, there were some. There were some.
Hebert: Did you avoid those places or did you . . . ?
Hinton: Well, of course. But, that wasn't a big issue with me because some of those places, when the team went there, they made sure that I was there. And if anybody had any problem with that, they had to deal with those guys. And that's just the way it was.
Hebert: So being a part of the team . . .
Hinton: Yeah. I mean, they made sure that if it was a team function, "You be there and I'm going to be there with you." So that was nice. That was nice. I mean, these are southern boys, you know, telling me that. They're from right here. "This is my teammate. This is my friend. This is his name." And you know, "Okay, come on in." So, it made a difference.
