Sitting on their wide verandas,

Sitting on their wide verandas,

Wealthy Negroes have white servants,

White sharecroppers work the black plantations,

And colored children have white mammies:

Mammy Faubus

Mammy Eastland

Mammy Wallace

Dear, dear darling old white mammies--

Sometimes even buried with our family.

Dear old

Mammy Faubus!

Culture, they say, is a two-way street:

Hand me my mint julep, mammny.

Hurry up!

Make haste!

Langston Hughes
