I was bi-coastal from the very beginning. I was conceived in New York and born in Los Angeles. My mom and dad came out here after the war. They were both in the Army and came out here to start a new life and have me and eventually a brother and a sister as well. My dad was a shrink, a psychotherapist in the Army, and he ended up working for the VA, before he started a private practice in LA. He was one of the first therapists to start a private practice in LA. But until that got going, he used to work 16 hours a day, eight hours at the VA and eight hours in private practice. And my mom was a translator in the Army, and she spoke, I don't know, 3 or 4 languages. And, for a while, she outranked my dad. My dad always used to tell a story about when he saw her, he didn't know whether to hug her or salute her! [laughs] At any rate, so I grew up in Los Angeles, in the San Fernando Valley and you know, our neighborhood was, I think, a fairly typical post-war neighborhood, a lot of smaller houses where I originally grew up. It was in Toluca Lake, but it was on the the poor side of the railroad tracks. We used to live near the tracks, and they used to play around there a lot and I was there until the fifth grade, and I think it was a, I lived a nice life as a kid. My mother used to take us to New York to visit family every summer. We went so many times that at eight years old I was able to fly back to New York by myself to see the family.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://lapl.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2796/collection_resources/154692/file/283726#t=46.84,168.8"},{"id":"https://lapl.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2796/collection_resources/154692/file/283726/transcript/82058/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eAni Boyadjian:\u003c/strong\u003e Oh, wow.

And, you know, we'd play football on the streets. We'd play until it got dark and all the moms would come out and say, \"Come on in for dinner!\" The thing I remember most, the most significant time there is when I was in the fifth grade, and I was in school at Erwin Street Elementary School, and we had a 100 word spelling test, and I was a good student. And a new kid came into class, and the teacher said to the new kid, \"Well, you don't have to take the test because you don't know the words. You weren't here.\" He said, \"It's okay, I'll take it.\" And there were two kids that got 100 on the test. Me and the new kid. And when I got home from school that day, who's moving in down the street? But the new kid and Lanny and I, the new kid. We became friends for life and I have so much of my life was connected. Early life was connected to Lanny and the things we did together. His mom ran a book club, and a lot of the kids in our class were in the book club together. So we read beyond what we read in school and talked about things, um, the most. And Lanny turned me on to music that I had never, you know, heard: Diana Ross and the Supremes.

They either had to pay an exorbitant poll tax, or they had to pass an exam that most people couldn't pass, and they were hesitant to even try. And so what Dr. King wanted was he wanted groups of college students to go South and register, to try to register people to vote and bring attention to the question, to influence Congress, to pass the voting rights act. And that's what we did. It was, I think, 12 or 14 of us, I think, from UCLA. And we were assigned to Macon, Georgia. We first all met in Atlanta.
