The realistic story around a Negro insurance official, dentist, general practitioner, undertaker and the like would be most revealing.
The realization that Negroes are no better nor no worse, and at times just as bonny as everybody else, will hardly kill off the population of the nation.
In this excerpt, Zora Neale Hurston discusses the importance of telling the stories of average African Americans. She argues that the stories that are told of this population always center on those of extraordinary people. These, she argues, are entertaining and familiar. However, the stories of common people are the most revealing. They are the ones that will prove that African Americans are just as human as everybody else.
