I'm white, but I finished a great book last night regarding blacks and whites and James Williams, and Grand Central Terminal and Red Caps. It is titled, "Boss of the Grips" The Life of James H. Williams and the Red Caps of Grand Central Terminal. It's by Eric K. Washington. Great reading. It opened my eyes wider to many things, regarding NYC and race, as I grew up in NYC where the majority of this takes place. And as a retired firefighter, I enjoyed the portions regarding Wesley Williams, the son of James who was the second black firefighter to join the FDNY, after John Woodson, a Brooklyn firefighter. Wesley Williams progressed to being the FDNY's first black Battalion Chief. This book says a lot. It's worth reading regardless of one's race. An eye opener for sure.
