Calpurnia on Lula and First Purchase:
"Lula stopped, but she said, 'You ain't got no business bringin' white chillun here-they got their church, we got our'n. It is our church, ain't it, Miss Cal?'
Calpurnia said, 'It's the same God, ain't it?'…I sensed, rather than saw, that we were being advanced upon. They seemed to be drawing closer to us, but when I looked up at Calpurnia there was amusement in her eyes. When I looked down the pathway again, Lula was gone."
Scout at First Purchase-119
I'm sorry for what Lula did. The children's first time here and the first thing they see is a big tall negro tellin' them that they don't belong, and are unwanted at First Purchase. People who thought racism was only whites hatin' negroes can't possibly think that any more. One look at Lula will prove them wrong. I took the children here, as my company, to go to church. It shouldn't matter what color they are, be it black, white or green, as long as they've come to worship, right? I'd be embarrassed to call myself a part of First Purchase Church's congregation if Zeebo and the others had been like Lula. I reckon they're thankful for Atticus defendin' Tom Robinson though, so being nice to Scout and Jem is a given. Other than Lula's yelling, I hope the kids enjoy the rest of the service.
