The\u003cbr\u003e\"side rooms\" where the two families ate their meals not only\u003cbr\u003esatisfied their hunger but also their need to maintain autonomy from an\u003cbr\u003eoppressive culture. As a result, Warner claims, the independence that African\u003cbr\u003eAmericans practiced during this time helped prepare their children and\u003cbr\u003egrandchildren to overcome persistent challenges of white oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication of the paperback edition made possible by a Sustaining\u003cbr\u003ethe Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the National\u003cbr\u003eEndowment for the Humanities.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark S.
