A
little while after that Parks told me how confused and offended about how little
African Americans were registered to vote, he was also mad that we had to have
a white person vouch for us to vote after that I ended up joining the NAACP
in which we met the president Nixon and we found out that he was one of the
main supporters for voting African American citizens. I was a bit discouraged
that I was one of the 2 women working there but that didn’t really affect me to
badly, in fact I even became President Nixon’s secretary for the NAACP, but one
day he said that “woman are supposed to be in the kitchen only” and secretly
that kind of ticked me off so I told him,” then why am I here then?” he laughed
and said “well you are a good secretary.” Sometimes his wife would come in but
she would just sit quietly and watched sometimes I wondered why she came. Well that’s all for today thank you for
listening to my story
