The expression “It came over the transom,” to explain any unusual good fortune, is part of local folklore.”

Black women sitting at home reading bedtime stories to their children are just not going to make it.”
—Frances Beale, African American feminist and civil rights activist. The Black Woman, ch. 14 (1970)
“I found that they knew but little of the history of their race, and could be entertained by stories about their ancestors as readily as any way.”
