Henry Louis Gates Quotes
Mama and I would go to a funeral and she'd stand up to read the dead person's eulogy. She made the ignorant and ugly sound like scholars and movie stars, turned the mean and evil into saints and angels.

She knew the ways in which working too hard for paltry wages could turn you mean and cold, could kill the thing that made you laugh.
