How It Feels

At its best, radio catches the blurred, unmistakable accents of real life. Last week, on her Child's World program, ABC's Helen Parkhurst asked six children from Harlem: How does it feel to be a Negro? Some of the answers:

P:"Well, it feels like you're walking down a road, and there's nobody else on the road, and when you're walking down there you don't see anybody except white people, and you get a funny feeling."

P:"They [the white children] don't want to play with you, or they don't think that you're as good as they are, and things like that."

P:"I'd [like to] drive around the park in one of those horse-driven cabs, because the rich people do it, and I'd like to see what it's like."

P:"I think we can all be happy if we all be together and act nice together and be walking with each other and not every time you see each other, you give eyes and say all funny things--and faces. Be friends! She buy candy one day and you buy candy the next day. . . . That's what I think."
