岁月的阴霾笼罩在1940年的6月23日。在美国田纳西州的一个贫困家庭中,有个女孩出生了。她是这个家庭中的第20个孩子,虽然是黑人,可是她却比其他黑人显得更黑更瘦小,因为她属于早产,生下来时体重仅有两公斤。她从小就患有多种疾病,因此,哥哥姐姐们都特别疼爱她。 The haze of years shrouded in June 1940 1940. In a poor family in Tennessee, USA, a girl was born. She is the twentieth child of this family, although black, but she is blacker and thinner than the other blacks because she is a premature child born weighing only two kilos. She had a variety of illnesses from an early age, so older brothers and sisters love her very much.
