Question

Lorna McDaniel recorded the belief that people who ate salt couldn’t do this activity. A “password” is used to perform this activity in one variation on a motif recorded dozens of times in the oral history Drums and Shadows. A song named for this activity declares “Meet that hypocrite (15[1])on the street / First thing he’ll do is show his teeth / Next thing he’ll do is tell a lie / And the best thing to (-5[1])do is pass him by.” Stories about people performing this activity may have been inspired by an 1803 mass suicide at Igbo (15[1])Landing. (15[1]-5[1])Virginia (15[1])Hamilton’s (15[2])collection of (*) African American folktales (10[1])is named for people who could do this activity. (10[1]-5[1])Folktales about this activity inspired Faith (-5[1])Ringgold’s Tar Beach and Toni Morrison’s (10[1])Song of Solomon, (10[1])which (10[1])ends with Milkman (10[1])Dead learning to do it. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, name this activity that slaves imagined performing in spirituals like “All God’s Chillun Got Wings.” ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
