Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required An Unwelcome Surprise at the Family Reunion By Elton Camp “We certainly do hope that all his descendents will choose To attend the reunion of the family of Grandfather Hughes.” The newspaper announced the gathering’s time & location To recall and praise a man so distinguished, with admiration Grandfather has been a prominent and wealthy physician Who had all that was expected of a man in his position He and Grandmother resided in a most imposing estate They were tended by maids, butlers and servants galore For an honored ancestor they couldn’t really ask for more But I must admit that most relatives looked down their nose At those who didn’t have, as a noble ancestor, one of those For snobs to say, “Of course you know that I am a Hughes” Was a request for deference that very few would dare refuse The family gathering began in the ballroom of the finest hotel Men with tuxes and women in long dresses, looking so swell All, their professions, wealth and accomplishments did mention To inspire jealously with pretentiousness was their intention At that moment, a family of blacks walked through the door Their very presence the Hughes family did quite openly abhor “It is obvious that you people made a mistake in coming here. The service entrance for menial hotel workers is in the rear.” “You mean this here ain’t the Hughes family’s big meeting? I thought it was high time that my relatives I was greeting.” Through the room gasps and expressions of outrage spread Two fine ladies fainted away almost as if they were dead The oldest Hughes came over and quietly grasped his arm “Let me show you out so that the reunion you don’t alarm. Your mistake is natural and it’s not any cause for blame. Many unrelated people actually will share the same name.” “No, no this is the place I meant to come I definitely know.” The black man then extended his hand and called him “bro” “You are mistaken man, for it is clear that you are a spade.” “Only partly, bro. My father was from Mr. Hughes’ maid.” Because of that, the reunion was never held any more The Hughes clan felt it couldn’t be as it had been before Bigotry was proved stronger than family ties that way At least that is what all others in town did laugh and say
