Interviewer: How long were you there? Watkins: That evening, we stayed until maybe—I think they closed at six. They just went on and closed their doors at about six or seven. By that time, we were getting a lot of spectators. A lot of people just standing around looking, white and black. I had two uncles. They showed up and they were standing right behind me. They didn’t say anything, but they were right there. Two of my daddy’s brothers that live in Houston. They got word of it and they came out. It was about six or seven that they closed, that they shut down.
