Yuuuup. Mom came from a small Midwest town. Only black person was the town gardener. Incredibly sheltered and literally did not know any black people.

When she moved it was the best thing that happened to her. (Own words)

She had a black friend where she moved and was shocked to see her harassed by a store owner. When she asked her friend about it she said "girl this is every day".

Profound life changing experience but not everyone is willing to change and learn.
