Autrilla Scott. Autrilla is a southern name from Arkansas. I moved to Delano, California in 1950 and in 1955, my husband and two children, and I moved to LongBeach, California, where I started getting involved in being a volunteer in the community. Iwould help register people from our community to vote. This was at a time when not everybodyhad the right vote.

I grew up in the So. California area, and I never remember black people having to sit in the back of anything that they did not want to.

Blacks have always been able to vote in Calif. without any problems whatsoever.

Guess that the babysitter learned to lie from her little charge.
