I Acknowledge Immense Debt To The Griots

History Is Written By Winners.

Most Of Us Prefer To Be As Quiet As Possible About Giving, Because Every Time It's Publicized That We Do Something, If It's Something Of The Nature Of Giving, We'll Be Doubly Besieged, And You Really Get Sick Of Being Always Criticized No Matter What You Do.

You're Always Being Judged. No Matter What You Do, It's Not The Right Thing. If You Didn't Become Successful, Then You'd Be Pointed At As One Of Those Creatures Down Their Who Didn't Take Advantage Of This Or That, Who Didn't Climb And Rise And So Forth.

Racism Is Taught In Our Society, It Is Not Automatic. It Is Learned Behavior Toward Persons With Dissimilar Physical Characteristics.

I Look At My Books The Way Parents Look At Their Children. The Fact That One Becomes More Successful Than The Others Doesn't Make Me Love The Less Successful One Any Less.
