NAT TURNER

Back 'fore the sixties, I can 'member my Mistress, Miss Sara Ann, comin'

to de window an' hollerin', "De niggers is arisin'! De niggers is

arisin'! De niggers is killin' all de white folks, killin' all de babies

in de cradle!" It must have been Nat Turner's Insurrection; which wuz

sometime 'fo de breakin' of de Civil War.

I wuz waitin' on table in dinin' room an' dis day dey had finished

eatin' early an' I wuz cleanin' off table. Don't you know I must have

been a good size gal.
