I’m not even sure if John did truly love his son because even Delly’s accomplishments were evidence of him […]

I would be very interested in another short story from Delly’s point of view because I do think it would be more empowering and interesting to hear […]

Douglas argues […]

But at the […]

However, the theme of how valuable each individual is to the […]

I think that Robertson’s personal conclusion is one that perfectly balances both trauma and hope. And it is important that this is the conclusion she came to in her real life, so it is a realistic […]

I think it’s a very good point that time is different for black and white people. The unborn child being active throughout the […]

In my opinion, “Death’s Black Train is Coming” is meant to be a warning to follow religion throughout your life, not just on your […]

In one of the videos I watched, Dr. Lerone Martin expresses this communal moment in […]
