[COMPLETE] Why is the Negro Lynched? by Frederick Douglass -mtf
Holy Moly. I am so overwhelmed at this second. Not with technicalities but with this man and this chapter. I know this is not the place to editorialize, and I wont. This man has been a hero of mine for years, and as I read through my chapter, preparing it for recording, I was completely blown away by the applicability of his thoughts now, as then.
I feel humbled, thrilled and terrified to read his words and represent him well.
Just one of those things I needed to get out, and couldn't just drop this seemingly random thought on my friends who aren't involved. I'm so pleased we are recording this book. Thank you to whomever started and resurrected it.
I knew you'd understand.

PL OK, except we need the end of book blurb since this is the last chapter:
At the end of the book, say (in addition):
"End of Why is the Negro Lynched?, by Frederick Douglass. "
DUH!!!

All is well, and it is great to have you ending this book.
Uncannily timely and relevant, isn't it?
And that is sad . . . .
Like he's been reading our news today?
So, I would add that it is

Just one section left -- longer than the others, but I'm sure someone will pick this up.

I've updated the MW and marked it PL OK.
I'm sure Devorah will be glad for you to record Section 6.
