NATIVE SON
BY RICHARD WRIGHT

forward, Slamming it shut. 1t smash
ed the old black preacher squarely
in the face, sending him Keeling
backwards upon the concrete. The
echo of steel crashing against steel
resounded throughout the long quiet
corridor, wave, dying somewhere far
away.
You'd better leave i'm alone
new," the guard said. HE seems
pretty wild"
The preacher rose slowly and
gathered his hat, Bible, and the
cross from the floor. He stood a
moment with his hand nursing his
bruised face.
WAL, son. Ahll leave yuh t
yo' Gawd," he sighed, dropping the
cross back inside the cell.
The preacher walked away. The
guard followed. Bigger was alone.
His emotions were SO intense that
he really saw and heard nothing.
Finally, his hot and taut body re-
Taxed. He saw the cross, snatched 1t
up and held it for long moment
in fingers of steel. Then he flung
it again through the bars of the
cell beyond a lonely clatter.
Never again did he want to feel
anything like hope. That was what
was wrong; he let that preacher
talk to him until somewhere in him
he had begun to feel that maybe
something could happen. Well, some
thing had happened; the cross the
preacher had hung around his
throat had been burned in front of
his eyes.
When his hysteria had passed, he
got up from the floor. Through
blurred eyes he saw men peering at
him from the bars of other cells.
He heard low murmur of voices
and in the same instant his con-
seriousness recorded without bitter
ness-like a man stepping out of
his house to go to work and MOTTO
ing that the sun is shining - the
fact that even here in the Cook
County Jail Negro and white were
segregated into different Cell-blocks.
He lay on the cot with closed eyes
and the darkness soothed him
some. Occasionally his muscles
tWitched from the hard storm of
passion that had swept him. A
small hard core in him resolved
never again to trust anybody or
anything. Not even Jan. or Max.
