Being Black in Utah #
June 1st, 2008 | In Worth Reading
The Washington Post has an interesting story about the black experience in Utah. I thought this quote were rather humorous and illustrative:
“I’ve had so many weird experiences like that,” said Griffin. “I went to San Francisco, and people didn’t stare at me. And it made me very uncomfortable, because everyone always stares at me.”
Arriving in the same city, Doriena Lee, 59, phoned her mother. “Guess what,” she said, “there are lots of us here!” Raised in Salt Lake, a city with so few, “I didn’t think there were very many black people in the world.”
