They chose to keep on going on and the use of their language and sayings helped uplift them.

''It's these politicians. They're the ones always starting up all this lot of war. But what did they care? It's the poor people got to suffer and mothers with their sons.'' If it was their sons, they swore they would keep them out of the Army by giving them soap to eat each day to make their hearts sound defective." https://padlet.com/ctheonia/j8rlhedvkrykvkxz/wish/2082740101 (page 2) summer ]]> 2022-03-08 00:08:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ctheonia/j8rlhedvkrykvkxz/wish/2082740101 amber https://padlet.com/ctheonia/j8rlhedvkrykvkxz/wish/2082740233 fight for your right and to express your feelings]]> 2022-03-08 00:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ctheonia/j8rlhedvkrykvkxz/wish/2082740233 tyasiamillar001 https://padlet.com/ctheonia/j8rlhedvkrykvkxz/wish/2082741358 .

They were women in whom the need for self—expression was strong, and since language was the only vehicle readily available to them they made of it an art form that — in keeping with the African tradition in which art and life are one — was an integral part of their lives."

Although they struggled in America, they still saw it as a place of opportunity. ]]> 2022-03-08 00:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ctheonia/j8rlhedvkrykvkxz/wish/2082742759 https://padlet.com/ctheonia/j8rlhedvkrykvkxz/wish/2082742933 "And their talk was a refuge.

Not only did it help them recover from the long wait on the corner that morning and the bargaining over their labor, it restored them to a sense of themselves and reaffirmed their self-worth. Through language they were able to overcome the humiliations of the work-day. https://padlet.com/ctheonia/j8rlhedvkrykvkxz/wish/2082744834 I totally agree with this talking to someone in this case its with friends its like coping/having some support and understanding of their everyday life.
