Odd as it is, I encountered Plaxico in some of my readings of ancient history (or at least a name VERY similar.)

I’ve long said that American blacks are the keepers of the names of the Ancient World, probably because masters were demonstrating their love for the classics by naming their slaves after names they had encountered.

I can’t remember the last time I met one named Hector.
