This chapter begins with Regina's job interview at the New York Public Library and describes Regina's early childhood and her parents' background information. It discusses how Regina learned about fighting an unjust system where race was concerned through her father's work as a defense attorney. His legal exploits were reported in both the African American and white press—the Chicago Defender and the Chicago Daily Tribune, respectively. Some of Atty. William G. Anderson's legal work was more profitable than noble. However, he often worked on more virtuous causes in partnership with Edward H. Wright, destined to become the leader of his time in black politics.
