nov 20, 1971 - Pearl helps Opal
Description:
On the morning of November 20, 1971, Pearl helped Opal bathe and dress, picking a simple black shift from her own suitcase and cinching it with safety pins where the fit bulged too large. She told Opal she was proud of her, and that she hoped they could fly home to Detroit together once God answered their prayers and cleared Opal of any legal mess. Perhaps Opal could take college courses, Pearl suggested, and get a salaried job back at Michigan Bell.Added to timeline:
