A long time later, in the early 60s, I was still a student in high school and I got a job at a sewing factory, where Mrs Parks was helping friends of hers, the Stocktons, start their own sewing factory. And I was hired there. I lasted all of about five days. And it was a mutual decision between the employer and the employee, that perhaps there was a better profession for me. But during those five days, it was just the most invigorating time of my life. I met Rosa Parks that was so exciting. And she was such a sweet lady. And she was so patient. Her voice sounded like a lullaby. And she was say "Now let me show you, dear". And she would just take her time showing me how to use a power sewing machine that I had never used before. So to say I had to remove a lot of stitches is putting it mildly. But that was how I met Mrs Parks. And more than a year later, after graduation, I started working for the courts, the federal courts in Detroit, Michigan. By that time, Congressman John Conyers had been elected to the first district and she in fact received a job from congressman Conyers. And we used to see each other in the hallway when we were about to leave. And pretty soon we started riding home together.
