Excerpt: “That sealed-off ghetto life told me blacks were not to expect the basics, let alone extra or different. We were supposed to accept the less-than-life white people had us boxed into, the life racism would never let me out of. That made me want to get out of their box but not get out of the black community where my little black self was nurtured by a sense of understanding one another." I didn't feel boxed in by my black playmates or my black grandma down the street or eating the grits and collard greens that had migrated north too."

Title: Image
The image depicts a young woman walking down a suburban sidewalk. She’s wearing a blue T-shirt and floral shorts, and her back is towards the viewer. The setting is a neighborhood with neat, white fences and well-maintained lawns, suggesting a peaceful, residential area. The trees are bare, hinting at early spring or late fall. The overall mood is serene and reflective.
Do you also notice how the houses have a uniform look, adding to the suburban feel? What stands out to you in this image?
