• Estoy bastante seguro de que puedo decir que nadie en mi familia preguntó nunca a Demetrie qué se sentía al ser negro en Mississippi, trabajando para nuestra familia blanca. Nunca se nos ocurrió preguntar. Era algo cotidiano. No era algo que la gente se sintiera obligada a examinar. Durante muchos años he deseado haber tenido la edad y la reflexión suficientes para hacerle esa pregunta a Demetrie. Murió cuando yo tenía dieciséis años. He pasado años imaginando cuál sería su respuesta. Y por eso escribí este libro.
