She always told us that she was what people called an “old folks” child. She grew up surrounded by the wisdom of the older peo- ple. They taught her how to preach, sing, and dance. They taught her how to survive and how to love. They taught her faith. They also taught her to strive and move up the ladder to success. Nonetheless, they always reminded her that there was someone below her and that it was her right and her responsibility to reach down and pull that person up to where she was. Thus, she could share her gifts that she had re- ceived from God and from the wisdom of the “old folks.” The black public schools were in a terrible state of affairs when Thea was in school.
