Quote of the week

"In the framework of nothing, slices of Milk Way become a great gift."

I am ristening to Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin. I had read it years ago, but bought it as an audio book last week. It is so so good! I really wish every person on earth would read it as a reminder of how bad things were (and still are to a degree).

Much of it takes place in New Orleans and Biloxi. Of course it was in 1959, but it does remind us that the playing field can still be far from level and gives a better perspective of what many of those still there have lived through.
