Beautiful short essay about race and self-pride. Zora's short-story is inspirational as she does not let what anyone else thinks define her

Will always be one of my favorite pieces of writing and/or media ever. It is a perfect act of expression. Whole and fulfilled and completely communicatory and full of self-integrity. The treatment of the subject matter with respect and integrity in the act of expression, I've just never witnessed anything like it.

This book is a very interesting commentary on how Zora saw her black identity and what it was like for her to live in America among white people.
