Supper Time
Ethel Waters in the 1940s
- ... that in her performances of "Supper Time", Ethel Waters (pictured) drew on her experience of staying with the family of a man who had been lynched? Source: [I played Macon, Georgia and I got there just a few—they had just removed say about a half hour before I got there the remains of a person that had been lynched. A man that had been lynched. And, you never sensed the pall that comes over it. Oh, it was just—you could feel it. You didn't see nothing. This is an actual fact. I don't know if I can express it the way that I would without the Lord's help. And then the irony of it, I stayed with the family of the lynched man. That's where they, you know, they took in performers. And nothing was said, but oh the grief that, you know, and the fear. And then, I'd also been almost lynched myself once for cussing out the man in Atlanta, Georgia. So, I know what that fig—[Laughter]. The result was this man—When Mr. Berlin was telling me about how to —I only had to remember.
