Are either Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell included in the blacks who matter?

Dr. Sowell not enough B’s in BRILLIANT to describe him properly.

The best Rush Limbaugh shows ever were when Walter Williams would sub for Rush and bring in Thomas Sowell for an interview.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Sowell.

Levin had Sowell on for an hour last night on his radio show. Mark told him of his great and early influence on his life. Most of the time Mark is ‘Pay attention, I’m educating you!’. It was neat to hear him pay tribute to a master.

Great man. I have a lot of his books...

Dr Sowell (as well as Dr Walter Williams) is very appreciate in my household.

My daughter’s best friend married a black guy last summer. (great guy)

She emailed my daughter the other day and said she’s trying to get better educated on racial politics and issues.

I sent her directly toward Thomas Sowell, then Water Williams, then Clarence Thomas

Not in this household has he been underappreciated. 8>)

For decades I hoped that Thomas Sowell would be drafted as the Republican candidate and elected president.

Guess it’s too late now. Sigh.

I always enjoyed hearing Professor Williams interviews with Professor Sowell when Williams was substitute-hosting for Rush.

Indeed, and many more. But, Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard (bits of which we memorized in English class, back in the day).

My bookmarks include "Studies Prove": Part II (Thomas Sowell). The end of which article contains an epitath of which Professor Sowell said, “I’ll take it.”

Someone should repost that article when the dolorous occasion does arise. He’s distinctly older than I, but he could outlive me.
