"Mary Gordon's story made me think differently about the power of clothing. I think that I was in awe with the very notion that it's 1888. The reconstruction era ends about 1877. 10 years later it's a very dangerous and uneasy time to be Black and Woman in America. And with this woman's story their is someone of authority who could have made her suffer but instead said, "yeah." Not yes per se but yeah. It kind of gives you hope for humanity."
