PUBLISHER’S ANALYSIS

Green-Lee is Black History |
|
Unfortunately we’re
educated to see history as something that happened long before
we were born. I say this, because I remember my Aldine lSD's G.
W. Carver peers asking, "Who wants to read about a bunch of old,
dead people?" Denial notwithstanding, I'm sure you've heard some
version of that sentiment too, because most people fail to grasp
the concept of history being made with every tick of the clock.
