The presentation about a writer

The presentation was about the female writer from Detroit. The books all about the life of people who between Negro and white man. She was born in Detroit, when she grew up her move to New York.

She introduced her books and read out the important dialog.  

I knew each one should rely on herself/himself from this show. There are lots of difference between negro and white man. If you cannot change this truth you must follow this. No one can help you get out the trouble you just can rely on yourself.
