remembering my grandad

[picosecond]

My grandfather was a mixed-race Peruvian Indian who spent most of his childhood working in a field with his parents and brothers. There were some wealthy white families in the area, mostly German immigrants, who they'd do odd jobs for occasionally as well. Back then, it was forbidden for Indians to go to white schools. His parents were canny enough
