Poetry's not my thing even though I'm a English minor, most the poetry I read I'll come to a conclusion and my professor will tell me something totally different, but here I go anyways:
my analysis is of a black person recollecting events in the past that outweigh the happy moments, but at the end she says Black love is black wealth, meaning they were rich because they were happy that they were together despite all the hard times being a black person in that time.
I think it's a symbol of hope that yes things were bad, they could be much worse, and that she was able to get past the bad and that white people wouldn't understand that because they don't treasure the same things.
