I've never thought that I would see any man of color, not just a black president, but any man of color, I never thought that I would live to see that.

I wanted to be a novelist from a very early age - 11 or 12 - but I don't think I ever thought I would write historical fiction. I never thought I might write academic history because I simply wasn't good enough!
