СКАЧАТЬ Ann couldn’t no way be without their personal slaves. Masta had ol Isaiah, who tended Masta wherever he went. And Mistriss Sarah, she pretty near couldn’t dress herself without Winnie. And missy Ann? Why she’d pitch a fit if I was left behind. So, when the family went to church, we all went with em. Course, we had to sit up in the gallery and not downstairs with the white folks, but we didn’t mind that none. Fact, we mosly didn’t wanna be round white folks no way.

      Reverend Crutchfield preached long and hard on Sunday mornins, holdin up his Bible, dancin round like ants was bitin him all over his body. Us in the gallery, we didn’t git too rambunctious, didn’t sing too loud or nothin. Partly that was cause Reverend Crutchfield would preach to the slaves at the end of the service. He’d tell us that Jesus wanted us to always mind our Mastas and never steal nothin and never run away. He’d say if we do jus like Masta tells us, we gonna go up to some kinda slave heaven.

      Natrally, we all wasn’t no way prayin to git into slave heaven. No, sir. We was prayin for a moses to lead us outta slavery. Far as we was concerned, Masta and all his like was little Pharaohs, holdin God’s peoples in bondage. Even to this day, I sometimes think the Good Lord has got Himself a mighty fine sense of humor. That’s cause our moses turned out to be a white man name of Abraham Lincoln.

      But that there is another story than the one I’m after tellin, so I believes I’ll jus save it for another day. Meanwhiles, I got beans need snappin and a chicken I gotta pluck and a fire to make if my family’s gonna have dinner this evenin. Ophelia be comin back from work pretty soon, and she is one gal who appreciates havin her dinner on time.
