Racism and Friendship

Being black I went through several difficult situations. I don’t know, like, some of the Canadians can complain that we couldn’t play baseball some places. You had to play cricket instead. Do you complain about things like that? I went through South Africa where I couldn’t eat because I was black. Do I complain about that? I’m the British Empire, in uniform, but I couldn’t eat. Well I made some wonderful friends. The best and some of them are dead now and some I still keep in contact with. People that I think so much of. They’ve been wonderful. They’ve helped me in situations and they’re friends I’d never forget.
