14 Washing clothes [k]

My husband and me, we've moved up here from Mississippi to have a better life! I don't want to work for no white woman no matter that I'd be paid a wage plus room and board. I have my own family that needs takin' care of, my own babies to look after and my husband who needs me.

I will do something else
