Notes:

"We, the Black middle class, are the progeny of all our struggling Black ancestors. 'Dotted Swiss and Gingham' is a tribute to my parents and all middle-class parents who through self-sacrifice (with all its more subtle implications), and determination made the middle class our heritage."--Introduction.
