As the only black student in a class of sixty-eight girls, grades four through twelve, R felt the isolation of being seen as an anomaly. It was made more difficult when she faced the same kind of probing questions about her “racial validity” simply because her family was well-off.
Yet she remains aware of the strength, beauty, and historical achievements of her black ancestors.
Growing up, traveling was a tradition for the Floyd family. Every time they visited a new country, R’s father would give her a topic to write a report on to share with the family.
