 My colleagues in Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh were wonderful to me. It was the city that was racist. I was asked to leave the restaurant, the Bar City restaurant at Craig Street and Center Avenue and not to come back. A white couple had protested my being there, so when I went to pay my bill, the manager or the owner of the restaurant said, don't come back. And I'm an aquarium, so I never know how I'm going to react or what I'm going to say. And I sounded off. I said, our men are fighting in war for the likes of you and for democracy and all, how dare you ask me not to come back. And so happened that the man standing back of me said, if you don't serve her, I won't come back and I will tell my friends not to come back. And it just happened to be a professor from the University of Pittsburgh and they're decent white people and good white people, no matter what or where. But the city was really violently racist, really racist.
