[ShirleyAvery]

Thanks. I read Anne Rice’s book “Feast of All Saints” and saw the movie as well about Quadroon balls in New Orleans. Very interesting to learn about the well educated, middle class free people of color that thrived before slavery was abolished. I was shocked to learn that some of these “priveleged” women had slaves of their own. How could they justify that? I recently heard the term yellow used in the musical, “the Color Purple” by the town gossips. Just Curious
