In So Many Ways, Segregation Shaped Me,

I Have Respect For The Past, But I'm A Person Of The Moment.

People Feel Guilty. And Guilt Is Stymieing. Guilt Immobilizes. Guilt Closes The Air Ducts And The Veins, And Makes People Ignorant.

You Are The Sum Total Of Everything You've Seen, Heard, Eaten, Smelled, Been Told, Forgot- It's All Right There.

In Stamps The Segregation Was So Complete That Most Black Children Didn't Really, Absolutely Know What Whites Looked Like.

I Want To Be A Good Human Being. I'm Doing My Best, And I'm Working At It.
