Quote #1

8/16/10
page 9

"Then they would face another day of trying to earn enough for the whole year with the heavy knowledge that they were going to end the season as they started it." This quote is important because it shows how hard Blacks worked in Stamps and all over the world. It shows the inequality of jobs and payment. During this time period Blacks were still being segregated and treated unfairly. Angelou describes in this quote the essence of working as a black man and how harsh the conditions.
