2. What was Jim Crow? “I, Too” I am the darker brother
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh and eat well, and grow strong.
--Langston Hughes

14. How do you keep Jim Crow going? Teaching the Young
“Incident”
Once riding in old Baltimore,
Heart-filled, head filled with glee,
I saw a Baltimorean
Keep looking straight at me.
Now I was eight and very small, And he was no whit bigger,
And so I smiled, but he poket out
His tongue, and called me, “Nigger.”
I saw the whole of Baltimore
From May until December;
Of all the things that happened there
That’s all that I remember
Countee Cullen

20. We Wear the Mask We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes-- This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be overwise In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us while    We wear the mask. We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries To Thee from tortured souls arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the mile; But let the world dream other wise,    We wear the mask. --Paul Laurence Dunbar (1895)
