“I am a human being; I am a woman; I am a black woman; I am an African. Once I was free; then I was captured and became a slave; but inside me, I have never been a slave; even today, inside me, here, and here, I am still a free woman.”
“All right, then, I thought: here I am in the bottom of a well.”
“Strong is right?""Well, yes, I suppose you could say that.""You say a woman cannot be bought. I say she can. I am strong. I am right.”
“You in trouble?” Sam asks. The way he says it, I wonder if he’s thinking about how to get out of here if I am.”
“Right" he said "Let's get one thing clear. I am not here to teach you law-I am here to teach you loopholes.”
