Wash didn't care if he got in trouble. But his mother did, and she was strict. When they shopped downtown, she insisted that he hold her hand and never touch the merchandise.

"My mother knew that I was too rambunctious to be a little black boy in the South," he said. "That put me in a position to be killed."
