It's something different, something our grandparents used to do. A lot of grandparents used to roll cigars back 50 to 60 years ago.

It troubled me at the time, but I was a working man, a family man, I didn't want to make any waves and lose my job.

Being grandparents sufficiently removes us from the responsibilities so that we can be friends.

I can think of no one that my grandparents knew, that told me stories and that I experienced myself, had any sense of social inferiority growing up in segregated Washington. None whatsoever.

The Palm Beach Story

I am not ashamed of my grandparents for having been slaves. I am only ashamed of myself for having at one time being ashamed.
