How Does It Feel to Be Colored

Journal on

INSTRUCTIONS:

I am colored but I offer nothing in the way of extenuating circumstances except the fact that I am the only Negro in the United States whose grandfather on the mother`s side was not an Indian chief.

I remember the very day that I became colored. Up to my thirteenth year I lived in the little Negro town of Eatonville, Florida. It is exclusively a colored town. The only white people I knew passed through the town going to or coming from Orlando. The native whites rode dusty horses, the Northern tourists chugged down the sandy village road in automobiles. The town knew the Southerners and never stopped cane chewing1 when they passed. But the Northerners were something else again. They were peered at cautiously from behind curtains by the timid. The more venturesome would come out on the porch to watch them go past and got just as much pleasure out of the tourists as the tourists got out of the village.

The front porch might seem a daring place for the rest of the town, but it was a gallery seat for me. My favorite place was atop the gate-post. Proscenium box for a born first-nighter. Not only did I enjoy the show, but I didn`t mind the actors knowing that I liked it. I usually spoke to them in passing. I`d wave at them and when they returned my salute, I would say something like this: "Howdy-do-well-I-thank-you-where-you-goin`r" Usually automobile or the horse paused at this, and after a queer exchange of compliments, I would probably "go a piece of the way" with them, as we say in farthest Florida. If one of my family happened to come to the front in time to see me, of course negotiations would be rudely broken off. But even so, it is clear that I was the first "welcome-to-our-state" Floridian, and I hope the Miami Chamber of Commerce will please take notice.

CONTENT:
How Does It Feel to Be Colored MeName:Institution: `How Does It Feel to Be Colored Me`In this story, Zora is unaware of her race until when she is around thirteen years old after being taken to Jacksonville for schooling. This only meant that she had not been aware of her identity, until when at the school when she would be often be reminded that she was a granddaughter of slaves (Hurston, 1928). However, the criticism about her color or identity could not deter her, as we are shown a brave girl, standing against all odds with the determination of being proud of whom she was.

My order went 3 hours late and I also went mad. Then the customer support team calmed me down and offered me a flat discount of 50%. However, I did get my order and chilled out as the work was exactly what I requested. Next time I would place my order a bit sooner to save any trouble.
