“She knows that they are not just Negro people, they are the talented class of 1940 Negroes.” That one sentence impacted my life because she was not put down by the white man racist speech; she knows she is a lot better than what he is describing her to be. She knew his words were not all that true, and that she is going to keep going in her life moving forward and enjoying life to the fullest. I wish all of us could do that, to not let us be put down by another person’s words to not to be bothered because someone put us down. Guess what you are better than that so keep your head up because nobody is going to put you down. If they do you just get back up and fight for what you’re made of. To just keep going cause you know what your well-being is better than the other person’s well-being. It shows that they are not just some random person they are the TALENTED NEGRO CLASS OF 1940. Those 17 words in that order no more no less is the reason I would go to school if I was a Negro in the segregation period to show those white folks that we are smart, that we will not be judged or criticized just because of the color of our skin but by the content of our character. It is nice that once you get past the hardships you go to the light in your future without the suffering and danger but all things come to an end and the wheel of hardships and danger will come again. That is life and you can’t get away with it you just have to roll with it or try to make it better all by yourself. Always be happy; always have a smile it might brighten someone’s day and yours you never know.
