when i was 7 and in second grade... i had to do a black history report on not turner. a hero of the black community. the encyclopedia that i used to reference my report stated that not turner led a slave revolt, and killed 187 white people, mostly women and children, while they slept.
i was looking forward to celebrating black history month. somehow, i couldn’t find the words of joy.
freudian slip... not=nat
When I was working on my Master’s at the U of Denver, my advisor assigned Nat Turner for my thesis. I couldn’t bring myself to get it written.
