In the emotional winds her domestic trials were borne far and wide so that she sang as she drove homeward,‘Jurden water, black an’ col’Chills de body, not de soulAn Ah wantah cross Jurden in uh calm time.’” Zora Neale HurstonK. “The lesson this teaches, and which every Afro-American should ponder well, is that a Winchester rifle should have a place of honour in every black home, and it should be used for that protection which the law refuses to give. When the white man, who is always the aggressor, knows he runs as great risk of biting the dust every time his Afro-American victim does, he will have greater respect for Afro-American life.” –  Ida B WellsG.  “Upon her swarthy neck black shiny curlsLuxuriant fell; and tossing coins in praise,The wine-flushed, bold-eyed boys, and even the girls,Devoured her shape with eager, passionate gaze;But looking at her falsely-smiling face,I knew her self was not in that strange place.”  Claude McKay
