We are referring to the essay "How it Feels to Be Colored Me," written by Zora Neale Hurston in 1928. It was published in the political magazine "World Tomorrow." Zora writes about her African American marginal condition in the United States in the 20th century.  After the death of her mother in 1904, Zora had to move to live with some relatives in Jacksonville, Florida, that worked as servants. Those childhood moments inspired her to write her essay.
