If I read it now - I still have the book somewhere - it makes me cringe out loud. It was just about psychedelic stuff.

I remembered this one time that I never told anybody about. The time we were walking. Just the three of us. I was in the middle.

I grew up in the midst of poverty but every black kid that I knew could read and write. We have to talk about the fact that we cannot educate for critical consciousness if we have a group of people who cannot access Fanon, Cabral, or Audre Lorde because they can’t read or write.
