I was born on October 27th, 1948 in the then segregated Providence Hospital in Baltimore City, Maryland. It has been said that ambulances would drive by a dozen white hospitals to get Blacks to Providence even when the lies were in jeopardy. At that time, Providence was the only Baltimore area hospital that would deliver black babies. I was the second of four sons and we were typical baby boomers. World war Two had ended and my father had come home from the Navy to a peacetime job as a baker at the popular Rice's bakery on South Baltimore. My mother stayed home to raise her four boys. My older brother Wendell Skip, born in 1944 my twin younger brothers Ronald and Donald born in 1950 me, we lived in a segregated enclave known as Turner Station located on Bear Creek Tuna Station was tucked away in the far southeast corner of Baltimore County at the southernmost tip of Dundalk, Maryland.
