:robert robinson, my old acquaintance, had worked at plant in detroit. there technical school was started for adver tising reasons. newspapers had stressed fact that school would be open to all workers “regardless of colour.” robinson’s life before he came to that school had been full of hardships. his home was in one of southern states where he had become instrument maker. unemployment caught 503 up with him, and he went to detroit where newspapers prom ised employment. in detroit new period in his life began: endless search for work. he managed to enter technical school. he was only coloured student there. newspapers made the most of it and even featured his photograph at work. papers, however, did not mention fact that he was paid less than white workers, and they kept quiet about animosity that he was met with every morning.
