نص القصة المصورة
- "The funeral was made in Harlem. It was lavish. Sarah's coffin was bronze."
- "The hearse was a custom Pierce Arrow Opera Coach with an elongated passenger compartment and a driver's cab open to the weather. The top was railed with brass and banked with masses of flowers. Black ribbon flew from the four corners of the roof."
- "There were several town cars for carrying the mourners to the cementary."
- "The mourners were mostly musicians, associates of Coalhouse in the Clef Club Orchestra. They were Negro men with closely cropped hair, tightly buttoned dark suits, rounded collars and black ties. The women with them wore dresses that brushed the tops of their shoes, wide-brimmed hats, and small furs around their shoulders."
- "When the mourners were in the cars and the doors were shut and the chauffeurs had got in behind their wheels, everyone heard a fanfare and there came up the street to take its place in the procession an open omnibus with a five-piece brass band in tuxedos."
- "Coalhouse Walker paid for the funeral with the money he had saved for his wedding. He had secured a plot for Sarah through his membership in the Negro Musicians' Benevolent Association. The cementary was in Brooklyn."
- Brooklyn Cementary
- Here liesSarah
- "The cortege moved slowly. Children ran behind it and people on the sidewalks stopped to stare. The band played as the cars slowly crossed the Brooklyn Bridge high over the East River."
- "Passengers on the trolley cars along the outer lanes of the bridge stood up in their seats to see the grand parade. The sun shone. Gulls rose from the water. They flew between the suspension cables and settled along the railing as the last of the cars went by."
