Negro writers, just by being black, have been on the blacklist all our lives. Do you know that there are libraries in our country that will not stock a book by a Negro writer, not even as a gift?

There are film studios that have never hired a Negro writer. Censorship for us begins at the color line.

A tail wag, the equivalent of a human smile,

or to a bed, card, stick, or even a bone.
