A rare first-person account of life in the twentieth-century South,
He Included Me weaves together the story of a black family-eight
children reared in rural Alabama, their mother a schoolteacher,
their father a minister-and the emerging self-portrait of a woman
determined, like her parents, to look ahead. Sarah Rice recalls her
mother's hymn of thanks-"He Included Me"-when God showed her a way
to feed her family, and hears again her mother's quiet words, "It's
no disgrace to work. It's an honour to make an honest dollar,"
spoken when her children were embarrassed that she took in white
people's laundry. Rice speaks, finally, of the determination,
faith, and pride that carried her through life.In a document that
spans more than three-quarters of the twentieth century, He
Included Me presents the voice of a single woman whose life was
rich in complexity, deep in suffering and joy; yet it also speaks
for the many black women who have worked and struggled in the rural
South and always looked ahead.
