If your daddy can give fifteen dollars you have no business being on relief.
Richard: There was shame in going to the Worthy Boys Annual Christmas Dinner for you and your kind because everybody knew what a worthy boy was. Why couldn't they just call it the Boys Annual Dinner-why'd they have to give it a name?]]> 2021-09-30 15:04:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pnia0796/dmpt8bw4yn8uh457/wish/1781712069 Axel https://padlet.com/pnia0796/dmpt8bw4yn8uh457/wish/1781734475  ​​I walked out of school that day, and for a long time I didn't go back very often.  ]]> 2021-09-30 15:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pnia0796/dmpt8bw4yn8uh457/wish/1781734475 Axel https://padlet.com/pnia0796/dmpt8bw4yn8uh457/wish/1781741172 She'd walk down my street and my brothers and sisters would yell, "Here comes Helene," and I'd rub my tennis sneakers on the back of my pants and wish my hair wasn't so nappy and the white folks' shirt fit me better. I'd run out on the street. If I knew my place and didn't come too close, she'd wink at me and say hello. That was a good feeling.]]> 2021-09-30 15:13:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pnia0796/dmpt8bw4yn8uh457/wish/1781741172 Axel https://padlet.com/pnia0796/dmpt8bw4yn8uh457/wish/1781745652  she said, looking right at me, her nostrils getting big and her lips getting thin and her eyes opening wide, "We know you don't have a daddy."  Helene Tucker turned around, her eyes full of tears. She felt sorry for me. Then I couldn't see her too well because I was crying, too.

And I always thought the teacher kind of liked me. She always picked me to wash the blackboard on Friday, after school. That was a big thrill; it made me feel important. If I didn't wash it, come Monday the school might not function right.

Couldn't spell, couldn't​ read, couldn't do arithmetic. Just stupid. Teachers were never interested in finding out that you couldn't concentrate because you were so hungry, because you hadn't had any breakfast
