The Grace of Black Folk
The Mississippi River holds the songs of my people: of how some of us were betrayed and sold back there, while others of us were scattered across a vast somewhere, and how none of us is welcomed anywhere, except where fugitives dare.

Requiem for a Sunbeam
In the late 1980s Jamel Washington was a Black gay executive at one of the top publishing houses in the world.
