Risk! Hello folks this is risk the show where people tell true stories they never thought they dare to share. I'm Kevin Allison and every Thursday we release these special episodes where we look back at content from earlier episodes of the podcast.

This past Monday was June 10th where we celebrate the emancipation from slavery for African Americans in the 1860s and commemorate how that extraordinary struggle for freedom otherwise has lived on right up to the present moment.

So we thought it would be a nice time to do another black lives compilation of stories. This will be the sixth episode in this truly remarkable series.

And a little bit we'll hear from Darra Lee's Lions before that Nate Ronkel and we're going to start things off with Tory Weston. So here's Tory now with the story we call We Are Sisters.

I am the oldest of four two sisters and a brother four of us three different dads. We were raised in pairs as Sister Dela and I are a year and ten months apart. My two younger siblings are a year and a month apart.

If you were to line us up the skin color range would be dark chocolate light brown sun kissed tan.

Now Dela and I knew that we had different dads but we weren't aware of our racial difference. You know my dad was black. Dela's dad was white.

And the first time I was aware of our racial difference was when I was seven and Dela was six and I was in the second grade.

This is back in the 80s. So the school that we attended was a very diverse elementary school. We had black kids, Puerto Rican kids, Vietnamese, Laosian, Irish American kids, French American kids. So we were very racially diverse school.

Also the way you know our building, our school building was if you walked through the front door of the school the principal's office was in plain view when you walked up the stairs.

And then there was a floor of classrooms and then another floor of classrooms. And my second grade class was right next to the principal's office.

Now on some days in my classroom we could hear our principal yelling at a student as if she was in our class yelling at the student.

Sometimes it would just be boys who would play pranks or would you know flood the bathroom sinks. And other days we could hear the principal secretary listen to the radio and sing along to the radio.

All of our teachers were white. Principal was white. Principal secretary was white. So my sister's teacher was this tall white woman with long brown hair walks into my classroom and speaks to my teacher Mrs. Rafftus who was a medium height white woman you know with a bob black bob hair.

And she says one of my students is in the principal's office and I was told that her sister is in your class and their grandmother is going to come and pick them up.
