Ernest GainesA myth is an old lie that people believe in. White people believe that they're better than anyone else on earth - and that's a myth.
Ernest GainesI was raised by a lady that was crippled all her life but she did everything for me and she raised me. She washed our clothes, cooked our food, she did everything for us. I don't think I ever heard her complain a day in her life. She taught me responsibility towards my brother and sisters and the community.
