And so it prepared me for, I believe the, the larger workforce.

I have had, yes, I've heard it insinuated.

you know, would go out, and I was going out with a friend who also worked at the Times, and we'd go out to the club, and the promoter would say, oh, yes, you're part of my beautiful Black people group.
