“Our past was slavery. We cannot recur to it with any sense of complacency or composure. The history of it is as a record of stripes, a revelation of agony. It is written in characters of blood.” (Frederick Douglass) - Periphery of Memory - MyNotes: How the Word is Passed by Clint Smith

Periphery of Memory - MyNotes: How the Word is Passed

@AnotherJen you've got two of my faves here: by Smith and Gaiman. Clint Smith narrates his own audiobook and it blew me away
