knew that many white people did not like any blacks. George did not know why. The Bible said it was wrong to hate another person – hate was a sin. And a sin was a weakness in the eyes of God. Then one summer day, something terrible happened in Fort Scott. A mob of white men and women murdered a black man, and George saw everything they did. They dragged the man out of the city jail, beat him, and killed him right on the street. Their faces were full of hate. George never wanted to see those faces again. The next day, he left Fort Scott for good. 36 Seven George went to another town in Kansas. Then he went to another, and another, and another. He stopped in any town where there was a school, and where he could find work. Some of the schools George went to were just for blacks. Some were for both black and white children. George learned everything he could in each school, and then he moved on. He was sure that some day he would finish all the grades. He knew what he would do then. He would go to college. As he traveled from town to town, George was always alone. He saved enough money to buy an accordion, and he taught himself to play it. Music made him feel less lonely. 37
