Gwendolyn Brooks Quote

Gimme an upsweep, Minnie,
With humpteen baby curls,
'Bout time I got some glamour,
I'll show them girls.


A Street in Bronzeville (1945)


Gimme an upsweep, Minnie, With humpteen baby curls, 'Bout time I got some glamour, I'll show them girls.

Gimme an upsweep, Minnie, With humpteen baby curls, 'Bout time I got some glamour, I'll show them girls.
