"For a long while now there was silence in the room." (Marshall,220)

“ Until finally, as she was washing the other shoulder, her lips began to move, and the silence was broken by what sounded like a plainsong or a chant—a long string of half-spoken, half-sung words in Patois.” (Marshall,220)

"They sang a song. Now that they were ready to go and going it was triumphant but it was sad. It was a long time since Israel had done any singing much and they had forgotten how to shout. Moses noticed their glad notes broke on wails." (Hurston 182)

Eula on Ibo ancestry and what brought them all here.

# data[].attributes.body
"It was here they brought them. They took the Ibo off the boats, right here where we stand. Nobody remembers how many of them it was, but they were a good few, according to my great grandmother. She was a little girl at the time. The ship had just come from the deep water. It was great big old ship with sails. The minute those Ibo were brought ashore, they just stopped, and took a look around...not a word, just studying the place real good. And they saw things that day that you and I don't have the power to see. Well, they saw just about everything that was to happen around here...The slavery time, the war my grandmother always talks about....Those Ibo didn't miss a thing. They even saw you and I here talking." (Dash,141)
