Yes African Americans had problems understanding it, but just like everything else it takes time to understand something’s. As a member of the race. I think it is time that all races not just black stop blaming society for our problems. Some time the only way to change thing is to change them ourselves.

First live, then write.' ‘Try teaching again,' suggested my mother. ‘No thank you, ma'am, ten years of that is enough.' ‘Take a husband like my Darby, and fulfill your mission,' said sister Joan. ‘Can't afford expensive luxuries, Mrs. Coobiddy.' ‘Go nurse the soldiers,' said my young brother, Tom. ‘I will!'
