Is Emily in a rose for Emily black?

Answer:
No, while Faulkner doesn't directly tell his readers that Miss Emily is white, her position as old Southern aristocracy clearly makes her white. Note too that Faulkner refers to her servant as a "Negro." Tellingly, he doesn't do this for Emily.

If this question is bubbling around in your head after reading the story, a second reading would be a really good idea.
