Gail’s Father
Gail’s father was a typical white man of his generation. His views on life and opinion significantly differed from Alvera’s. Gail would often hear her parents arguing because of something unacceptable her father said. While watching the television, he would often throw a racial slur. Alvera Rita knew her husband would never accept her if she were black, so she made her decision. After finishing her story, the woman asked Gail for one favor.
