Thanks. We will be finished soon. I was wondering if you would help with another selection from the long list of works by black writers yet to be recorded. Jim

Robert Moton, one of these here, has his own slave narrative (struggle and escape). Would you be interested in him?

Awesome! By the way, my wife grew up in Prince Edward County, one of the notorious racial battlegrounds of the civil rights movement. I went to a college located there and we got involved personally, of course, but also politically. Her father was one of the enemies, that is, one of the white town fathers responsible for closing down schools, one of which was named for Robert Moton. I and my future wife got involved with a government project there called Catch-up, which was meant to help black children who had been deprived of adequate education for five years to catch up.
