I used to want the words "She tried" on my tombstone. Now I want "She did it."

I am happy to know that my husband regards me as a woman and a person.

Black people should have recognition for themselves and their backgrounds and their relationships with other people in the world and thus lose some of their alienation. This museum has certainly stood for that in this town.

We have a group of friends of the museum who try to raise, if they can, periodically something to help us. Of course, the main thing about a building like this is its upkeep. It needs central heating and it needs central air conditioning.

I really think that aside from admiring my talent you really admire me as a person and as a woman.
