ing about preachers, I want to talk
about the Beauty aOO the Beast,"
Sam d. "AM the filst thing I
want to tmighten out is: the
Beauty had the right to be
wherever she waned to be at any
oour of the day of night, Am all
that tuff about ·respedability' �
00gwMh."

Ethridge Knight wro1e, ·We me
free. Funky free.'"
"Yeah! I agree with that but I
still think you have a IOOtive,"
Bessie said. "It's ftmoy mw we
were given Christianity during
slavery aOO the p�r was al­
lowed to preach the Quistian ver­
sion ofwbite control am yet with
all of the' book learning and
sophistication we have supposed­
Iy acquired, we are still slaves to
that concept"
"LORD. God. Have mercy on
this child, Father. She don't koow
what she is saying," Sister Pearl
said. :
� heck I don't know what
I am saying. " Bessie responded, "I
am sick aOO tired of preecbers
speaking for all African
�ricam.At the least they speak
for' themselves m1 at the most
they speak for their congrega-
tion." .
