Uncle Willie Quotes

“Momma bought two bolts of cloth each year for winter and summer clothes. She made my school dresses, underslips, bloomers, handkerchiefs, Bailey’s shirts, shorts, her aprons, house dresses and waists shipped to Stamps from the nearest Sears & Roebuck. Uncle Willie was the only person in the family who wore ready-to-wear clothes all the time.”
― Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
