Question

Consider the portrayal of Greenville in these three poems: “greenville, south carolina, 1963,” “the cousins,” and“after greenville #1.”For Jacqueline’s mother, how is Greenville both a beautiful and difficult place to call home?

Answer 1

Jacqueline's mother considers it difficult to call Greenville home because of racial segregation.

What was racial segregation?

• It was a system of separation between whites and blacks.
• It was a racist and oppressive act.
• It was a way of preventing African-Americans from exercising their citizenship.

The poems show how Jacqueline's family was affected during racial segregation. In that period they could no longer see Greenville as a home, although the place was very beautiful. This is because racial segregation oppressed them, in addition to being a violent and aggressive system.
