3.We went to the B.T Blackstone Library,not far from Lake Michigan,once a week.You could easily miss the building if you didn't know what you were looking for.But once you were inside,you could never mistake it for anything else.We passed through two sets of heavy brass doorsto the lobby of the library.And if we turned right then,we could see an alcove with tables; this led,in turn,to a big reading room with a great and ancient globe that sat in front of the largest windows.At some time during every visit I found my way into that room to touch the globe.I liked to look at Africa,with the coded colors of the different countries like the Belgian Congo and Rhodesia,and try to remember which countries were fighting to be free just as we were struggling for civil rights.I had heard Daddy talking about the struggle,arguing with the television as someone discussed it on a news show.On Saturday,as I wandered through the young adult section.I saw a title:Little Women,by Louisa May Alcott.I could tell from looking at the shelf that she'd written a lot of books,but I didn't know anything about her.I had learned from experience that titles weren't everything.A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home,and every bad book I brought home meant one less book to read until we went back in a week.So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs:
"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents"grumbled Jo,lying on the rug.
"It's so dreadful to be poor"sighed Med,looking down at her old dress.
"I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things,and other girls nothing at all"added little Amy,with an injured sniff.
"We have got Father and Mother and each other."said Beth contentedly from her corner.
It was a thing I had decided on some other books to take home,because I didn't look through the rest of the section that day.I read and read and read Little Women it was time to walk home,and expect for a few essential interruptions like sleeping and eating,I wouldn't put it down until the end.Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in girls who could almost be like me,especially Jo.It seemed to me a shame that she wasn't Black:then our similarity would be complete.She loved to read,she loved to make up plays,she hated acting ladylike,she had a dreadful temper.I had found a kindred spirit.
