Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxi cab. </span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #000000">She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him.
