She is an African American just like me. My grandfather was of German descent. Her grandfather was not. She not too yellow, but I guess I am.<br /><br />I just thought we were friends, until I wrote this simple little play for Black History Month. I used the term girl in the reenactment of Rosa Parks's arrest. <br /><br />When it was suggested that I edit the term from the play, I wanted to know why.
