Chapter 2: The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man

"I believe it to be a fact that the coloured people of this country know and understand the white people better than the white people know and understand them." pg. 403 (Ch. 2)

When the boy discovers he is black... he says he now has to deal with "forced loneliness" and as a result found pleasure in music and books. (pg. 404)
