“Back in 1963, my mother and father arrived at the Ryman Auditorium’s Grand Ole Opry in Nashville at a time when the state’s Jim Crow laws required it to be segregated. They were dressed in a gown and tux respectively, driven in an antique Rolls-Royce by a white couple dressed as chauffeur and maid. The white couple were fellow activists and friends from the Unitarian church. The “chauffeur” got out and opened the back door to escort my glamorous parents past the crowd at the entrance. He handed someone a $100 bill to park the car, the maid following close behind.”
