The Train from Hate (1994)
John Hope Franklin
My pilgrimage from racial apprehension—read just plain confusion—to racial tolerance was early and brief. I was 7 years old, and we lived in the all-black town of Rentiesville, Oklahoma. My father had moved to Tulsa where he hoped to have a law practice that would make it possible for him to support his family. Meanwhile, my mother, sister, and I would occasionally make the journey to Checotah, six miles away, to shop for supplies.
One day, we went down, as usual, by railroad. My mother flagged the train and we boarded. It so happened that when the train stopped, the only place we could enter was the coach reserved for white people. We did not take notice of this, and as the train picked up speed, the conductor entered and told us that we would have to move to the “colored” coach. My mother explained that we were not responsible for where the coach stopped and we had no other alternative to climbing aboard and finding seats as soon as possible. She told him that she could not risk the possible injury of her and her children by going to the “colored” coach while the train was moving. The conductor seemed to agree and said that he would signal to the engineer to stop the train. When the train came to a halt, the conductor did not guide us to the coach for African Americans. Instead, he commanded us to leave the train. We had no alternative to stepping off the train into the woods and beginning the trek back to Rentiesville.
As we trudged along, I began to cry. Taking notice of my sadness, my mother sought to comfort me by saying that it was not all that far to Rentiesville. I assured her that I did not mind the walk, but that man, the conductor, was so mean. Why would he not permit us to ride the train to Checotah?
My mother then gave me my first lesson in race relations. She told me that the laws required racial separation, but that they did not, could not, make us inferior in any way. She assured me that the conductor was not superior because he was white, and I was not inferior because I was black. I must always remember that simple fact, she said. Then she made a statement that is as vivid and clear to me today as the day she uttered it. Under no circumstances, she said, should I be upset or distressed because someone sought to demean me. It took too much energy to hate or even to fight intolerance with one’s emotions. She smiled and added that in going home we did not have far to walk.
5 It would be too much to claim that my mother’s calm talk removed a burden from my shoulders. But it is not too much to say that her observations provided a sound basis for my attitudes and conduct from that day to this. At that early age, I had made an important journey. In the future, I remembered that I should not waste my time or energy lamenting the inability of some members of society to take me as I was. Instead, I would use my energies to make me a better person and to distance myself from the perpetrato ...

3. SINOPSIS
This is a story of three children, Roberta, Phyllis, and Peter, who live in a
respectable suburban villa with a wonderful mother and father and a cook and
servants, until one day great disgrace and poverty befalls them. Father is taken
away to prison (but they do not know this at first), and they have to move to a poor
cottage in the country near a railway line. Mother writes stories to earn what little
they live on and they get used to being poor and have to learn not to steal coal
from the railway station, even if they have so little to keep warm by. Sometimes
they argue and have crises, as one does, but in time they make many new
friends, and amusing adventures aplenty happen near the railway and the canal.
They develop the habit of waving to the train as it goes past and sometimes the
people in the coaches wave back. Their friendly habits makes them one special
friend in particular, who although he mostly just goes by in the train, eventually
gets to know them, and helps them out in various ways. And somehow all the good
things that they do add up together and end up coming back to them, and there is
happy ending to it all.
