“Ophie realized she had never ever seen such a thing before. It filled her with a sense of ease, and as they approached, she spun around, taking in the small part of Pittsburgh where it seemed that being a Negro was no more usual than wearing a hat. A tension that Ophie always carried with her melted away. It was the constant fear of saying the wrong thing or looking the wrong way at a white person, the inevitable consequences of such a trespass. There was something nice about realizing that there really was nothing wrong with being colored, despite what some folks thought.”
― Justina Ireland, Ophie's Ghosts

“She cried because girls who believed in happily aver afters could be murdered in attics, and because men who just wanted to have their voices heard could have their words choked off forever.

― Justina Ireland, Ophie's Ghosts
