Ralph Ellison quotes
All quotes in this entry come from here: Ellison, Ralph. Shadow and Act. New York: Vintage Books, 1995. “We [American blacks] know we’re not the creatures which our enemies in the white South would have us be and we know too that neither color nor our civil predicament explain us adequately.

SPT Layzner 1-38 batch (featuring ACR)
Originally posted on /m/subs:
Well, we got there in the end…after 5 years. The ending’s noticeably rushed, but that was beyond the staff’s control, a major sponsor pulled out. If you want to see how the 1999 arc was supposed to go, I recommend the OVAs. For those of you who haven’t heard of…
Quotes from James Baldwin
No quickshot review today, my friends. I’ve gotten to be really, really busy and I haven’t the time even for those sorts of entries.

(Very) Quickshot review of Ira Berlin’s Many Thousands Gone
A *very* quickshot review for you guys today. Just finished reading Ira Berlin’s Many Thousands Gone and wanted to give my thoughts on it. Actually, probably a little less than my full thoughts on it. I already read this for a few of my previous classes, but I may have to read it again and […]
