Read 2026-11-04 by T3 on the page images (printed pp. 153-154 = PDF pp. 165-166 of newvoiceinracead00negriala.pdf, rendered at 110 dpi). The byline prints “MRS. JOHN HOPE”; the piece names her as printed. Reading her as Lugenia Burns Hope is inference from the married style and is not stated in the essay. “Moorehouse” is the volume’s spelling. The PDF text layer interleaves a stray line into the p. 153 sentence; the archive’s djvu text and the page image both read it as quoted. Found by the GA-GAP cloud research (canon PR #17, row R2). Page 154, below the quoted lines, prints a racial slur in quotation marks; never excerpt that passage.
