The kitchen house at the Kingsley Plantation was known as the "Ma'am Anna House" because it was also Anna's living quarters. The fact that she did not live in the main house was not a reflection of her status, but rather reflected Zephaniah's respect of Anna's native culture. Anna (born Anna Madgigine Jai) was a native of Senegal, West Africa. In Senegal culture, men and women did not share the same living quarters.
