Blacked Out - Personal Narrative

I’ve never encountered racism before, I knew a bit about it. How

people reacted to it some with violence some just turned away and

Samantha took us sight seeing around parts of Leeds that she knew, it

as we stepped in a rush of heat just hit us, the place was too stuffy

you could hear babies crying under the force of the heat. It was even
