Valerie Boyd Quote
Zora and her playmate Carrie Roberts also spent long afternoons reading what Moses told the Hebrews not to do in Leviticus, Zora remembered. In that way I found out a number of things the old folks would not have told me. Not knowing what we were actually reading, we got a lot of praise from our elders for our devotion to the Bible.
