If I could go back to a place and the past I would go to my grandparents house, back in June the summer of 2001. Why, because that was the last time I was able to see my grandfather and actually hear his voice. If you didn’t know my grandfather you would’ve wish you have known him. My grandfather name is James Carter. He was known as the first black chief /police officer in Yazoo City, MS. To his family he was a loving and caring man.

At the end of July, we couldn 't visit my grandfather no more. When I use to ask could we visit him my mom gets sad and tears would roll down her face and she quickly wiped her
