What reading level is Black Diamonds Gathered in the Darkey Homes of the South book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And now she is with her great Master, and has gone. The doctor shuts down the eyelids ; she is now in the dark last agony of which she cannot testify ; death gives the silent, veiled stroke, and the body stretches out, sharp, rigid, dead.
This death scene, comforted by the man of God, and watched by white faces wet with tears, was that of a slave. But seldom is it, that the slave is left to meet his death as the white pauper in his rags and desolation. His master and mistress and the white fami...ly are always by to visit him in this great need of humanity. Indeed, when an old, loved slave ( as Aunt Marie was), who has grown up with the family, the handmaiden of the old when they were young, and the mammy of the young before they have grown old in worldly care, is taken away by the equal hand of death, it evokes a sympathy and grief that many a white, saintly soul of your Northern Pharisees might envy, when he leaves the world unhonored and unwept.
