"Many immigrants do not talk about what they……" — Isabel Wilkerson

"Many immigrants do not talk about what they endured back home. They were fleeing that world, and when they left they didn't want to talk about it because there had been pain and heartbreak under the caste system of the South. They didn't want to burden their children with what they had endured."

— Isabel Wilkerson
