>I remember well when the shadow swept across me. I was a little thing, away up in the hills of New England, where the dark Housatonic winds between Hoosac and Taghkanic to the sea. In a wee wooden schoolhouse, something put it into the boys' and girls' heads to buy gorgeous visiting-cards—ten cents a package—and exchange. The exchange was merry, till one girl, a tall newcomer, refused my card,—refused it peremptorily, with a glance. Then it dawned upon me with a certain suddenness that I was different from the others; or like, mayhap, in heart and life and longing, but shut out from their world by a vast veil. I had thereafter no desire to tear down that veil, to creep through; I held all beyond it in common contempt, and lived above it in a region of blue sky and great wandering shadows.

Such artful prose! Such vivid imagery!

Douglas deserves his high place in the American cannon. OP is a retard.

...riiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggggghhhhhhttttt. There's only one brainlet and it's OP (or more than one if you're on his side).

Case in point, you've had full access to the luxuries of the modern world and where's your masterwork brainlet?? Now try writing one after being raised a slave in a nation where your existence is intrinsically looked down on and you're blocked to most opportunities available - education included.

Stop calling people sweet-related names. It's weird. These anons are most likely grown men with hair on their chests, and you should give them your respect.

Booker T. Washington's autobiography is better.

"More than once I have tried to picture myself in the position of a
boy or man with an honoured and distinguished ancestry which I
could trace back through a period of hundreds of years, and who
had not only inherited a name, but fortune and a proud family
homestead; and yet I have sometimes had the feeling that if I had
inherited these, and had been a member of a more popular race, I
should have been inclined to yield to the temptation of depending
upon my ancestry and my colour to do that for me which I should
do for myself. Years ago I resolved that because I had no ancestry
myself I would leave a record of which my children would be
proud, and which might encourage them to still higher effort."
