Quote

As she said "If anything should happen before 'tis done-may I trust that all commas and periods will be placed and someone will complete my thoughts"(Nemiroff 261).

Reaction

I think this quote is saying that Lorraine Hansberry wants people to follow her footsteps. She wants her glory to continue on in the future. she wants people to think as her. she might of wanted another African American woman to take her spot after she's gone. Maybe she wants to be a legend and one way to do that is to be a model for other authors and people of her race.
