So I'm reading a book about a young black man sent to prison for 40 years. The name of the book is " In The Place of Justice " A story of punishment and deliverance. By Wilbert Rideau. After a number of years he is allowed to go on trips out of the prison to make speeches. One time he was told if he had a girlfriend she could meet him for a over night holiday.
On page 127 I came to this strange quote.
" I couldn't believe my ears. I did have a girlfriend, Dot, a beautiful black-haired white woman of about forty with a figure years of dancing had given her. I had met her the previous year at a Jehovah's Witnesses' gathering at Angola. She tried to interest me in the Word, and we fell in love. She was my first girlfriend. She had told her husband, a business executive, who had no objection to Dot and me exchanging passion-filled letters. But he did not know about her prison visits, granted at the discretion of prison authorities for inmates who got few or no visits, or about the speaking trips for which Phelps had just made me eligible. I knew Dot would go anywhere to be with me, although her race might sometimes present problems."
WOW is that strange or what ? LOL Oh, by the way, the book is very good.
