“How does the heroic voice and heroic image of the black woman get suppressed in a culture that depended on her heroism for its survival? What we have to recognize is that the creation of the fiction of tradition is a matter of power, not justice, and that power has always been in the hands of men-mostly white but some black.” - Mary Helen Washington, from the Introduction (1987) #readsoullit #happyvalentinesday #blackwritings #maryhelenwashington
