And I went in for a job interview in the Richmond Public Schools in Virginia, the capital city, bought a three-piece suit -- my concession to convention -- kept my long beard and my afro and my platform shoes -- at the time it was the '70s -- and I walked in, and I sat down and had an interview.
Saya pergi untuk wawancara pekerjaan di sekolah negeri Richmond di Virginia, di ibukota negara bagian, membeli tiga potong setelan jas -- pengakuan saya terhadap tradisi, mempertahankan janggut panjang dan rambut afro saya dan sepatu berhak tebal saya -- waktu itu tahun 70-an -- saya masuk, duduk dan menjalani wawancara.
