My Grandmother says when they sent my Aunt Earnestine to teach at an integrated school Aunt Earnestine cried like a baby. My grandmother had been one of the first black teachers to integrate in Chicago by that time. She said she didnt cry, she just said her prayers and went on. As posted previously, when some white high school boys were going to throw snowballs at my grandmother and some other black teachers my grandmother's response was " I didnt get up at 4 o'clock in the morning to come over here to the northside and have you throw snowballs at me! Not one snowball better touch me or any of these other teachers! I swear to god I'll tear up the Northside of Chicago and this school with it!"
