A brief story about the "King "
My family had returned to NY for the holidays, and on
Christmas Day, 2006, James Brown passed away. It
was announced that there would be a public viewing at The
Apollo Theater. I mentioned to Mark that I'd like to take my son
but it was extremely cold, and I feared that the line waiting to get in
would be difficult for my nine year old to manage. His reply was priceless,
and I can quote it to this day.
"Don't worry, Dave," he said. "There are two lines; one for Blacks and
one for white people.........and the white line is really short!"
