You got to take me ,like I am!”
The
Negro Mother:
“Three-hundred

Negro
Lady Speaks
I
do the things Negroes do
White folks say good morning
I say good morning and hello too!
Listen! I was born a Negro and I’m gonna stay this
way.
I’m married to a white-man,
hey that’s O.K.
I still love my people
and plead their case
Don’t count me out
this Afro-American Race...
