Excellent. It's good to be reminded.

I have come to realize that one of the reasons I am uncomfortable with current discussions of racism is that they seem so disconnected with history. I was alive and conscious of the world in those days, but I find I have forgotten much. I read James Baldwin and Richard Wright in the 1960's, and they made a deep impression on me. They should still be read, and assigned in school.
