I had very good parents. My mother came toAmericafromScotlandby herself when she was 11, and she didn’t
have much education. My dad was kind of a street kid, and he eventually went into the insurance business, selling
nickel policies door to door.One day, my dad asked his boss, “What's the toughest market to sell?” and the
insurance guy replied “Well, black people. They don’t buy insurance.” My dad thought, but they have kids; they
have families. Why wouldn’t they buy insurance? So he said, “Give meHarlem.”
When my dad died in 1994, I talked about him onThe Tonight Show. I told the story of how he worked in
Harlem and how he always taught us to be open-minded and not to say or think things of racism (种族主义). Then
one day, I got a letter from a woman who was about 75 years old.
She wrote that when she was a little girl, a man used to come to her house to collect policies. She said this
man was the only white person who had ever come to dinner at their house. The man was very kind to her, she
said, and his name was Angelo—was this my father?
The letter made me cry. I called her up and said yes, that was in fact my dad, and she told me how kind he
had been to her family. Her whole attitude toward white people was based on that one nice man she met in her
childhood, who always treated her with kindness and respect and always gave her a piece of candy. From this
experience, I learned a valuable life lesson: never judge people and be open-minded and kind to others.
