I actually had a mammy when I was a little boy, Does that not tell you something. My mother’s family was from Mississippi, and my Mother actually played with the Vardeman kids at a time when Jackson was a small town. To Kill a Mockingbird remains one of my favorite movies, not because Hollywood didn’t get a lot of things wrong, but because of the little things. I could almost smell the mixture of sweat and talcum power on the ladies, with their bonnets as they working on their flowers.As I sometimes stayed with “
“Retha” in her place in Ceder Top, I got to see black folks from a child’s eye view: I was even younger than Scout. So I didn’t see all that much nobility. I just saw southern folks with black skins. Never could understand segregation, until I got older and read enough history to know that it was at bottom just tribalism.
