Milton Lewis says:

About a year ago a young white couple asked to see a model home in Park Terrace. I said, "Certainly. Of course, you folks are aware that Park Terrace is a Negro development." They were not. They just stared at me. They couldn't believe their ears.

When they had finished looking around, the husband said, "I never dreamed that Negroes could live so well around Chicago. I always pictured them living in slums."

There's Frank Derrick, working on his lawn. Would you like to talk to Frank?

Yes, we'd like to talk to Frank. »

No, we don't want to talk to Frank. We would like to find out if we were approved for a mortgage. »
