Armstrong-Montanez fighttoy

	FROM THE BOOKS
	My grandfather owned the plantation where I was born. I was born on a plantation. He was a white man. My grandmother was his slave but she was very attractive, beautiful limbs, long hair, she was one of these proud women. When my father was born, out of wedlock, you couldn't tell him from a white man. He just couldn't take it down there, so he had to move out because he'd fight anybody. I guess it was animosity because this man married my grandmother, because she had all this land. My mother was half Cherokee Indian and my father met her on another plantation and he married her. Then he brought her to his plantation where his mother lived. Then my mother and dad had fifteen children. I was the eleventh child of a family of fifteen. All of us was born on this plantation and I never knew anything about different people because I had never gone no farther than this plantation, and some of my kin people were white.
