“It was the hottest day of the year, and car ride to Olan Mills was without air conditioning and mom, grandma, my cousins and me were all crammed in the car together. On the way Mom got pulled over for having a broken tail light and by the time we got there everyone was already over it. Those dresses were hot and itchy, and every time our photographer was ready to shoot, someone started crying or had to go to the bathroom. I’m the one on the far right with the face. I still make that face to this day when irritated.”
