YOU NEVER KNOW
One never knows where one's influence or work may lead or come to rest. My niece surprised me one day in exclaiming that one of her college texts had included a quotation from my former black history newsletter (now defunct).
It was discussing the subject, "Black Man/Black Woman: Can the Breach Be Healed?" It was in my old historical newsletter THE NILE REVIEW, which I self-published from 1981-1986. It was around 2008, when my niece amazed me by mentioning that it was in her book at the University of Illinois .
One never knows!
