english: They knew they could sing their stories through the thick heat of picking cotton and harvesting tobacco, knew they could preach their stories and sew them into quilts, turn the most painful ones into something laughable, and through that laughter, exhale the history a country that tried again and again and again to steal their bodies, their spirit and their story.
non_english: Znali su da mogu da pevaju svoje priče na vrućini dok beru pamuk, ili sakupljaju duvan. Znali su da mogu da propovedaju svoje priče i ušiju ih u tkanine, pretvore najbolnije priče u nešto smešno i da kroz taj smeh izbace istoriju zemlje koja je iznova i iznova pokušavala da ukrade njihova tela, njihov duh i njihovu priču.
