“I said, I would never go back to Dallas. […] Because I would drink from the colored water fountain. My mother would drink from the white. And I kept looking at the water going, Mama, I’m being cheated. My water is not colored!”
In this enchanting talk, Cleo Parker Robinson takes us on a journey through her life growing up in a mixed family full of music, dance and life. Her story takes us from the apartment over Rosenberg’s Bagels to the White House and everywhere in between. At every step, we’re reminded to see the deep things, both the good and the bad, that shape our experiences into who we are as creators and givers.
