Hurston does not feel depression about being the "granddaughter of slaves" because she chooses to focus on the strength and resilience of her ancestors rather than their suffering. She believes that their struggle for freedom and dignity is a source of pride and inspiration. In her essay "How It Feels to Be Colored Me," Hurston states, "I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes." This suggests that she does not view her ancestry through a lens of victimhood but rather as a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity.
