"In years later I was to confront the stereotyped picture of gay song-singing cotton pickers with inordinate rage that I was told even by fellow Blacks that my paranoia was embarrassing." (pg 8)

This quote explains how angry Maya was at the stereotyped placed on her hard working community that they like to do the jobs they have, when in reality they only do them because they have to. The cotton pickers do not enjoy their jobs, they only do them because they are forced to find any job they can to support their families.

(page 25)

This shows how segregation affected children because of the lack of diversity at a young age. It also reflects on just how much segregation there really was in Stamps.

Maya doesn't see whites much or even go into their part of town. It's like they don't exist because they blacks don't go into their part and they don't come into the black's part.
