The people in the building where I rented a little basement for La Mama were furious that a colored was living amongst them. Somebody called the Health Department and told them that prostitution was going on in the building and that a Negress had entertained sixteen white men in five hours. Well, many young men were helping me, building, putting the floor in, trying to make this little place into a room.
