For me, as the child of immigrant parents from Ghana, West Africa, born in the American South, raised in Manhattan, Kansas, (Laughter) and having attended the same elite school as Du Bois, I could see that the Buffalo fair effectively pitted the black Northerner against the Southerner, the educated against the uneducated, and the African American against the African.
Enquanto filha de pais imigrantes do Gana, na África Ocidental, nascida no Sul americano, criada em Manhattan, no Kansas. (Risos) e tendo frequentado a mesma escola de elite de Du Bois, eu via que a feira de Buffalo efetivamente, contrastava os negros do Norte com os do Sul, os educados com os não educados e os afro-americanos com os africanos.
