I changed quite a bit

“One day my daughter came home and she had a Black baby… and she had a husband who was Black.  And I was thinking to myself, ‘I hate Black People.’  But there’s a Black baby laying there that I was holding. I thought about it for a while and I thought, ‘Well I better change, because of my grandkids.’ The metaphor is that I had a bunch of extra baggage.  And I took that baggage down the river, and I threw it in and let it go… so I changed, I changed quite a bit.”  – Research interviewee
