America: People behind the occupation A small girl dreams of a white wedding, a white pigeons jump over the honeymoon of rituals and fairy tales. In this way, for the first time, I can return to the yellow house of this country including the white fence. Everyone dreams of their future with "perfect" house, "perfect" car, and "perfect" marriage - everyone wants to live "American Dream". Many people think that the "American dream" is the concept that they have the right to enjoy and expect life.

C. P. Ellis was born in 1927 and was 53 years old in an interview with Stade Telkel. For the most important oral historian's tricks in the US this is the most memorable and inspiring thing among all the interviews he has done for CP in professional 70 years career . Ellis was a senior cyclops at KKK in Durham, New Jersey. In the interview, Texel learned that Ellis is very poor when he was born in Durham, North Carolina; he worked hard to support his family throughout life; But then he joined the local school issue, reluctantly and when he despised him, he gradually began working at the black activist committee of An Atwater. Finally, after many small Epiphany, he recognized their common concern for children and the common goal of mankind. Ellis I first met in the 1960s
