The Last Mile (1932)

Daniel L. Haynes: Jackson - Cell 2

Quotes 

• Jackson - Cell 2 : Don't you know there's two heavens, one for the white man and one for the black man. Why, if I could sneak up into that white man's heaven by accident or sump'n, the keepers up there'd say 'What you doin' in this heaven anyhow? Who told you to come here? Don't you know this ain't your place? Get on over in that black heaven. Over there by that garbage can. 'Fore you get sent to your black hell.'

  Mayer - Cell 3 : What - they got a hell for the black folks too?

  Jackson - Cell 2 : Sure. Sure we got a black hell. Did you'all think they gonna let us fry in that same fire as you white folks?
