00:53:20,719 I came up to New York City. 899 00:53:20,806 --> 00:53:24,940 Well, the only person I knew is my cousin Frida, 900 00:53:25,027 --> 00:53:27,856 and she worked in the Baby Grand at night, 901 00:53:27,943 --> 00:53:30,511 so I would go to the Baby Grand and, you know, 902 00:53:30,598 --> 00:53:35,864 hang out with Frida and meet Frida's friends, et cetera. 903 00:53:35,951 --> 00:53:37,997 And that's how I met Freddy. 904 00:53:38,084 --> 00:53:40,695 I liked Freddy because, uh, 905 00:53:40,782 --> 00:53:44,003 he seemed very interested, like, you know, 906 00:53:44,090

fact, you know, 912 00:54:01,412 --> 00:54:03,501 knowing that I was a preacher's daughter, 913 00:54:03,588 --> 00:54:05,851 and, you know, they called me "Uppity Nigga" 914 00:54:05,938 --> 00:54:07,331 and things like that. 915 00:54:07,418 --> 00:54:10,072 But it didn't seem to bother Freddy. 916 00:54:10,159 --> 00:54:13,728 I liked Freddy because, like, he was very soft-spoken, 917 00:54:13,815 --> 00:54:16,818 kind of gentlemanly like. 918 00:54:16,905 --> 00:54:18,559 And then afterwards, 919 00:54:18,646 --> 00:54:22,694 Freddy said that, you know, we should live at his parents. 920 00:54:22,781 --> 00:54:24,261 Well, at the beginning, 921 00:54:24,348 --> 00:54:26,567 he said we would only stay there for a short while, 922 00:54:26,654 --> 00:54:28,221 about two to

realized it was just for a short time. 926 00:54:38,927 --> 00:54:41,843 But then afterwards, things seemed to get worse and worse. 927 00:54:41,930 --> 00:54:44,368 Freddy never seemed to have a job. 928 00:54:44,455 --> 00:54:47,240 He was always just, you know, just hanging around. 929 00:54:47,327 --> 00:54:50,112 Comin' all so strange bein' a slave in your name 930 00:54:50,199 -->

00:55:02,951 --> 00:55:05,954 because I was expecting a completely different thing, 934 00:55:06,041 --> 00:55:07,434 because before we got married, 935 00:55:07,521 --> 00:55:09,480 he would talk about children, 936 00:55:09,567 --> 00:55:13,310 and he was talking about probably going to school 937 00:55:13,397 --> 00:55:15,573 and things like that. 938 00:55:15,660 --> 00:55:17,705 And none
