But he had come to me for help. What he did not know was he, as he spoke all the time trying to prove my superior to me, I was trying to decide how much help I could give him . I struggled with the fact that so many black people had lost their land, and here I was faced with having a white person to save their country to help.

And, uh, he needed to go back and I tried to help him report. So I took him to a white lawyer …. So I thought if I take him to one of them, his own kind would provide for him. "
