Uddrag
If Nancy Lee had expressed herself, she would probably just have been harassed by the white people that ran the school and didn’t want a black girl to win the art contest.
Nancy Lee wants to take care of her family and make sure that her mother can afford a new coat for the next winter, this also tells us that the family that Nancy Lee was living in was very poor, because they could not afford a coat for the next winter.
Nancy Lee’s painting had won the art contest, and therefore she would have won a scholarship if the committee at the art contest didn’t choose to not let Nancy win the competition because of her color.
