| Introduction | "Travelling Blackwards: Memoirs of a Ghetto Nomad" is a work that is in its initial stages. It is a portrait that combines the power and breadth of The Autobiography of Malcolm X and Fire Next Time with the abstract-concreteness of a wayfarer who has fared well. It is an innercity narrative. It is an American story. It is a collective collage of humanity about hope, vision, service, friendship, love and the ability to challenge the self to reach higher heights. As you travel blackwards you will see yourself as you have never seen yourself before. |
