Frank Yerby
Black Cowboys and Indians in the Family
Sunny Nash's family is filled with black cowboys and Native Americans on both sides. In her book, Bigmama Didn't Shop At Woolworth's, Nash writes about her great uncles who broke wild horses, punched cattle on a ranch near Iola, Texas, and made moonshine on the Western Frontier.
In the essay, "Private Business" in her book, Nash writes: Bigmama's brother-in-law, George--a jet black gentleman cowboy with one of the few cars in the family (in the 1950s)—waited for Bigmama out front in his shiny black Buick. When he was young, Uncle George broke horses and punched cattle on the Yeager ranch near Iola. He'd retired years before but still lived in a cabin on the ranch, and the Yeagers made sure he had a new car every two years or so. Before I was born, he was married to Bigmama's sister, Lill, until her death. Uncle George never remarried. He got out of the car and opened the trunk for Bigmama's suitcase. His sweet-smelling cologne drifted from the street to my nose. As usual, he wore a crisp white shirt, gray pinstriped suit, cream Stetson hat, and fancy cowboy boots.
"Uncle George was the only person who called Bigmama by her Comanche name," Nash said. "Bigmama avoided association with her Comanche heritage, not because she was shamed of it. She still had certain fears of this association getting the family harmed. These fears were passed to her from her father."
From her book, Bigmama Didn't Shop At Woolworth's (book description link), in the essay, "Cousin Hudge, the Traveling Fiddler" Nash writes:
Did your father give you the Indian name that Uncle George calls you?" I asked Bigmama, staring at her for a long time, while she decided not to tell me anything more. How well I knew that look.
"We're going to leave this old talk alone now." She seemed to snap back from somewhere far away. "You don't need to know that old slaverytime prairie business. I didn't teach it to my children, and I'm not telling you. The old way is gone. Knowing about it can't help you in this world."
"But Bigmama."
"Folks are scared of the word, Comanche!" She scolded. "They hate anybody they believe got one drop of that blood. Safer to be African than Comanche!" I shivered. "Now let it rest."
"That's why you hate it when Uncle George calls you by your other name," I whispered.
Subsiding into aloofness, she seemed to forget I was even there. She wouldn't have been more alone on a mountaintop in the wind. I didn't mind allowing her to escape. I'd found myself doing the same thing when something annoyed or bored me.
Nash, recognized as a leading author in the area of race relations, also publishes widely about the African American West. In the book, The African-American West: A Century of Short Stories (University Press of Colorado), edited by Bruce A. Glasrud and Laurie Champion, Nash's short story, Amen, is included.
The African American West: A Century of Short Stories is a collection of short stories by noted African American writers, spanning the Twentieth Century, including W.E.B. DuBois, Rita Dove, Reginald McKnight, Terry McMillan, Ralph Ellison, Sunny Nash, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Walter Mosley, Charles W. Chesnutt, Frank Yerby, Langston Hughes and others.
Excerpt: "The Gun" by Langston Hughes from stories of the 1930s
Picture yourself a lone bird in a cage with monkeys, or the sole cat in a kennel full of dogs. Even if the dogs became accustomed to you, they wouldn't make the best of playmates; nor could you, being a cat, mate with them, being dogs. Although, in the little town of Fall Rock, Montana, the barriers were less natural than artificial (entirely man-made barriers, in fact), nevertheless, to be the only Negro child in this small white city made you a stranger in a strange world; an outcast in the house where you lived; a part of it all by necessity, and yet no part at all...
In her article, The African American West, Sunny Nash talks about many aspects of the American Western Frontier, including civil rights, violence and lynching, and she includes photographs of various acts and eras.

What are your favorite quotes 1 each from a movie, a book, and a song?
I have a favorite quote from all three that I will share, but what are you favorites, maybe you can change my mind?
Movie Quote: "When a loaf of bread looks like a banquet, I've no right buying tobacco"-- Grandpa Joe from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Book Quote: "Aqui Yace Cenza, Polvo, Nada" -- A Rose for Ana Maria by Frank Yerby
Song quote: "If heaven was an hour, it would be twilight, when the fireflies start their dancing on the lawn" -- If Heaven by Andy Griggs
Movie Quote: The Man Who Sued God. (Gotta set the scene here - they are sitting in court when a bird smashes through the stained glass window above the judge)
Primate: It's a sign.
Cardinal: A miracle.
Moderator: A winged messenger.
Gerry Ryan: It's a f***ing cockatoo!
Book Quote: From Baghdad with Love - Jay Kopelman
"You can't yell at him either, because even though you are an elite, well oiled machine of war who in theory can kill another human being in a hundred unique ways, you'd still be considered a freak if you yelled at a puppy."
Song Quote: Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House
There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
Black History Month - Frank Yerby
