His book was excellent.. I think it should be required reading in school. The piece you were referring to was in that book also. If i remember right.. he was asked to do a speech in the North when slavery was still legal in the South, and that is what he was referring too. What he witnessed, what he lived through.. and what he risked to learn to read, write, and leave is incredible!
Can you hear my hands clapping !!! I am so tickled your piece is beautiful ! Soul searching isn't it ? The exercise of doing that contest for me was kind of freeing... was it for you ?
Serenus, there is a contest that is called " I am Poetry"
it really is more than a contest, but a way of looking inside ourselves and in doing so... sharing a bit ourselves with others
A few of us have done it, would be grand if you would join us ( :
