THE WAR OF THE WALL Author: TONI CADE BAMBARA Main characters: Lou, Narrator (Frieda), Side pocket, Painter lady
Lou and the narrator finds a lady painting on the traditional wall
We have so many different memories with this wall so quit painting on it
Hurry up before we are late for school
The painter lady arrived to the narrators mom's restaurant and asks for food after lying to the kids
After coming from school they see that the painter lady is still there and there is white on the wall
When Lou and the narrator walks out of school, they see that the painter lady is still painting on the wall and this time white strips are on it
Hey, look over there
The kids tried to bribe the lady with food to stop her from painting the wall
No thanks I have dinner of my own
Want some food?
ugh
I'm starving
Any non meat food
Around here you eat what I give you
At the end when the narrator and Lou tried to sabotage the painter lady they found out that she was related to Jimmy Lyon who died. The painter lady painted different pictures of black history activist and named it the "WALL OF RESPECT". The narrator and the rest of the kids started to respect the lady and felt guilty for judging her.
