Comments
Email from a former resident: “I was very offended when I moved to Middleton and the “N” word was very previlent. there was on family in Middleton where the mother was African American and the father was Native American. While living in this town, I heard that there was a ban on allowing black families to live in the town. When I was a junior in H.S. another family moved to town where the mother was white and the father black. One of the children was in my youngers sister’s class. My sister said that her and her friends tried befriending the girl was a little leary and made comments of being treated badly. One day in school the girl that was half black and half Native American was walking into the lunch room and a bunch of the kids called her Aunt Jamima.”
