Post #5

After I read interviews, I choose the Richard Lieberman’s with Daisy Kinard because I like her personality. In the interview, an interviewer, Richard, is trying to find the reason why she moves to New York, and what her family and she do. Also, he seems to want to know about her thought about her rough life, and her expectation before she comes to New York. I guess Richard find out the life of black people. Interviewee, Daisy Kinard, has been in really hard time. She can’t get an opportunity to study she wants. She has to work ten or twelve hours a day to get 50 or 75 cents that she says a lot. For better life, her family moves to New York, but it is not the New York she hears about from white people. For the white people, New York is a great place, but not for black like Daisy. She says in interview, “You have the rich, the upper middle class, the working class, the lower working class.” She realizes her fantasy is just fantasy. She is really disappointed when she got New York first time. But, she seems to be good when Richard interviews her because she can meet many kinds of people – integration.

  1. A good start - how do you think the racism Daisy faces in the south compares to what she experienced in the north?

    It's interesting to compare Daisy's expectations of the North to immigrants who come to the U.S. In what way is she like an immigrant?
