We used to ride the bus from the Gulfgate area where we lived, to Downtown. We always went to Woolworths to shop. My Mom found me in the basement having a coke at the counter. She said, its not right, but this is for colored people, down here. I had noticed the black and white bathrooms. My Mom explained separate but equal to me later. I still remember those days as a child. Foley's was the next stop and no segregation issues there that I remember. We have come a long way.
