I wish she would write more about the Help, I read the book and really liked it but I was left wanting to know what happened to all of the characters.
Well it is tough to know as all the names have been changed :). We don’t want anyone to get sued now do we? Lol. Yes. She is not yet done with the south. So who knows if a character or two may pop up again along the way . :). Doubtful her next book but maybe the one after. Sometime subject matter doesn’t fully allow for full disclosure though.
Well, the maids continued to be maids. And the children they raised grew up to attend private schools, Ole Miss, and to have children of their own who may or may not have been raised by maids. Those children also attended private schools and Ole Miss.
The black children attended schools via busing. The lucky ones were bused out of their neighborhoods to fancy white neighborhoods. The schools they attended quickly became a majority black because the white children were pulled out of public schools and put into private schools. You know, the black children had diseases and would leave those diseases on the toilets. /sarcasm Now Jackson is predominantly black because all of the monied persons have left the city to populate the surrounding towns/counties. There are similar stories in other areas of the country.
