When my mother was working as a keypunch operator,she said,"she was one of the best in the city." She went to Taft High School and graduated and married my father,who was in the Navy.She went to Long Beach,California with him.She divorce him and moved back to Ohio and enroll in a tecnical school to leaen about keypunching.The frist job she got didn't pay as much as she wanted.By the time she left for a better job,she did raise her pay rate up because of her skill level.She work for three years and got the best ofer of her life from a warehouse company. She said,"on the first day on the job. The supervisor told her to go home because we don't work with Negros."Shesaid,"If she was thinking she would have gotten a private lawyer and could had some millions." She went to legal aid because her father told her too. When she won her case, she just got backpay and an offer to come back to work which she didn't. She said,"I don't hate no one for that hurtful experiense.
