Reply #11: That's a very valid statement - I know I never met one until High School. [View All]

Sure I'd see them on TV or perhaps at the mall. But I never actually met one and knew them by name until middle school (well technically it was my high school but our school was 7-12 and I was in 7th grade.)

But honestly, Jimmy Carter changed my opinion on them back when I was 10. He had Barbara Jordan has his keynote speaker at the 76 convention and Ms Jordan really changed my opinion about minorities in general.
