It is a sad hardship and slavery to people who live in towns, that in their movements they know of one dimension only; they walk along the line as if they were led on a string.

Ishmael Reed

Two of the great leaders of the past - Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass - had White fathers - who deserted them.
