When Bernie Met Lorraine
If it hadn’t been for Kay, I would have never met Lorraine. It was May of 1963, at the end of my sophomore year at Pratt Institute. Being one of the few Black students, and a full scholarship recipient at that, I was so aware and protective of my place in the college that, two years into my college career, I still rarely ventured off campus. I worked in the campus bookstore when I wasn’t in the library or the art studio, only leaving for required museum visits and professor-suggested gallery openings. I was a fine arts major from Rockford, Illinois, and my knowledge of New York was fairly limited. Yet, I knew it was where I was supposed to be.
