Mr. Kerfeld

Mr. Kerfeld was a grocer in Elizabeth, Virginia. Justin Monroe and Randy Brooks shopped in his store after the diner was closed down.

Justin had the chance to observe Virginia's racial politics while in the store. Kerfeld treated his fellow whites, Justin and Randy, as equals. His interaction with town janitor Charlie Clark, a Negro, was cordial, but subtly showed the disparity between the two men's positions.
