It’s not that I forget the tragedies my ancestors have been through before me, but it is the retelling of history through the victors voices . Black people were slaves the end. We can’t even get that far now because of the erasure of CRT materials , when in reality it’s not a theory it’s history . To go from everything to nothing doing lots of labor and getting nowhere even when one of the weights are removed

There’s a lot of sadness going on in this area of the book. We are first introduced to Kossula as him being lonely and begging for company now we see how he has gotten to this lonely place everyone he loves does not make it for circumstances that just keep happening and time after time again.

Miss Zora Neale Hurston does an amazing job at not coding Mr.Lewis’ language to be a “ formal” way of speaking english. His voice is purely his own as he breaks down the class of “Africans” from where he’s from in chapter one and two.
