Anybody, no matter who they were, could come right off the boat and get more rights and respect than amerikan-born Blacks.

We’re as common as rain.” And she was right: to each other, we were as normal and nice as the smell of bread, we were just a family. In a family, even exaggerations make perfect sense; they are always logical exaggerations, nothing more.
