Ain't Nobody Can Write Down in A Book What You Worth

图片取自 goodreads

　　Goods and chattel. The words from the leather book came into my head. We were like the gold leaf mirror and the horse saddle. Not full-fledge people. I didn't believe this, never had believed it a day of my life, but if you listen to white folks long enough, some sad, beat-down part of you starts to wonder. All the pride about what we were worth left me then. For the first time, I felt the hurt and shame of just being who I was.

　　After a while, I went down to the cellar. When mauma saw my raw eyes, she said, "Ain't nobody can write down in a book what you worth."
