First sentence: Late in the summer of 1955, shortly after the Supreme Court ruled segregated schools unconstitutional (1954) and while the Montgomery Bus Boycott was still going on and a few weeks after Governor Luther H. Hodges of North Carolina went on statewide television to urge the black citizens of his state to accept something he called "voluntary segregation," I finally found a teaching job.
