The family, as well as the rest of the slaves of the Confederate
states, were decreed free by the Union, about six months after Ida's
birth, thanks to the Emancipation Proclamation. However, living in
Mississippi as African Americans, they faced racial prejudices and were
restricted by discriminatory rules and practices.
When Ida was sixteen
years old both of her parents died from Yellow Fever. In order to keep
her family together, Ida went to work as a teacher and took care of her
brothers and sisters. A few years later, Ida moved to Memphis to teach
where she could make more money. She also took college courses during
the summer and began to write and edit for a local journal.

Explanation:
One afternoon, an old man ordered in a nearby restaurant for breakfast.
He went inside, find a seat and sit comfortably.
Then one smiling waiter approached him and asked: "What's your order for this morning, sir?" The old man replied, "Can I have one rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast, please?"
The waiter with his two brown eyes glow with awe, answered, "One rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast? (with an emphasis on the word "rubbery and burnt") Was that correct sir?" "Yes, you just said it right", the man replied.
"Why on earth would you want such a dish?" asked the waiter.
"My wife was out of town and I missed her cooking." replied the old man.
"Oh! I see". the waiter answered with a smirk and walk back scratching his head.
