Daughters of the Dust (1991)

Adisa Anderson: Eli Peazant

Quotes 

• Eli Peazant : What're we supposed to remember, Nana? How, at one time, were we able to protect those we loved? How, in Africa world, we were kings and queens and built great big cities?

  Nana Peazant : Eli, I'm trying to teach you how to touch your own spirit. I'm fighting for my life, Eli, and I'm fighting for yours. Look in my face! I'm trying to give you something to take north with you, along with all your great big dreams.

• Older Cousin : Maybe when we go North, you can take more with you than Eula and your dreams.

  Eli Peazant : I ain't got no more dreams, cousin.
