Character: Aibileen

Remember how the Baby got spanked because of me. I remember that she listened to miss Lebolt called me a dirty, contagious. The bus is speeding on state street. We cross the bridge, Woodrow Wilson, and I clench my jaw with such force that just the teeth are not broken. Feel the bitter seed that had settled in me after the death Triloba, growing and growing. I want to scream so loudly that the Girl heard me, that dirt - it's not about the color of the skin, and infection - not in the Negro part of town.
