I can't wait to follow you on your journey. There are books you've mentioned that I wish more people mentioned. Oh well that's why we're here to keep those black voices alive.

It's as ...Tayé I can't agree with you more! It's as if the publishing companies want to erase good black authors from the list. It always annoys me when I go into bookstores and see African-American interests and look a lie of books with covers that are highly sexualized, containing no substance. That is not my interest and I'm a proud African-American who is reading old and new black authors of substance, who hardly get press. It's depressing some days.

They analyzed the use of the third and first person voice and decided what they would encounter had the roles in the story been reversed.

I am not ready to walk under the skies of an earth where she is a footnote of history. I shudder when I think of what it would have been like to be a woman, raising children, without her words of wisdom giving me strength, endurance, acceptance, and the confidence that comes when 'I' becomes 'we'. Thank you for helping find the strength to celebrate while mourning. You have reminded me that thanks to her, I am still not alone. I am still 'we' alongside the many she touched and empowered over the course of her life.
