"But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of Negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal and whose feelings are all but about it. Even in the helter-skelter skirmish that is my
life, I have seen that the world is to the strong regardless of a little
pigmentation more or less. No, I do not weep at the world — I am too busy
sharpening my oyster knife." — Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960), libertarian Republican anthropologist and author. Ms. Hurston died on January 28, 1960
