Rhodes Family

"When I went to junior high school, for some odd reason all the black kids sat together at the same table in the lunchroom. According to this group, if I didn't want to sit with them, there was something wrong with me and I wasn't really 'black.' I had something racist in me. If I sat with white or Asian kids at lunch, it was as if I wanted to be white or Asian."
