I was born 1911, Chicksaw County, Piedmont Plantation.
Skeeter

Clark
Yes ma'am, I did.
Skeeter
And you knew that because...
Aibileen
My mama was a maid. My grandmama was a house slave.
Skeeter
[whispering as she writes down]
"house slave..." Did you ever dream of being something else? [Aibileen nods yes] What does it feel like to raise a white child when your own child's at home being looked after by somebody else?

God says we need to love our enemies. It hard to do. But it can start by telling the truth. No one had ever asked me what it feel like to be me. Once I told the truth about that, I felt free. And I got to thinking about all the people I know. And the things I seen and done. My boy Treelore always said we gonna have a writer in the family one day. I guess it's gonna be me.
