what was the first inkling you had that the world was not quite right?

[SwampG8r]

for me it was about 1960
i was 4 almost 5
i was visiting my grandparents in east tennessee
my papaw was the roundhouse boss at the depot
in train that means boss guy
my uncle was a conductor and my family had worked the L&N since it started
i wet to papaws work and a sign on a water fountain said "whites only"
my family is about half cherokee in every direction you look
through blood and marriage
and we were never ashamed of it
but i knew i wasnt "white"
and i knew my papaw was in charge of the whole show
i had a hard time wrapping my head around that sign

when was your first inkling?
