The Harvard sage is passionate on that subject. “The act of imagination cannot be censored.” “Art has to be open to everyone,” he said in an interview. Publishing’s stay-in-your-own-racial-lane intolerance deeply troubles renowned literary scholar, author, and Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. So it is ironic that these people would then imagine themselves as the literary benefactors of Black America.” “It is also a virtual certainty that they know nothing firsthand of the issues facing the Black Georgians who spoke to me from their own lived experience. “Given the demographics of publishing in Manhattan, it is a mortal lock that almost all of the editors who objected to my racial identity were white,” Patterson added. Those concerns came from the New York City-based publishing industry. Nobody raised his race or questioned whether he could convey their experiences. “They trusted me to tell their story in fiction,” Patterson noted to me. As part of his research for the book, Patterson went to rural Georgia and spoke with some 50 residents, many of them Black, about their daily lives and interactions with white authorities.

Allison says heroes energize and give hope, offer safety and protection, impart wisdom, and help us achieve personal and societal goals. Allison Ph.D., in an April, 2022 article at Psychology Today, lists twelve functions of heroes. Someone like themselves, someone they could become. Students who resist direction from a teacher see heroes in high school mentors. They model self-expression, thoughtful phrases, and a commitment to detail. Advanced writers collaborate with, and provide feedback to, beginners. Young men and women enjoy the arts.Īcross the hall in creative writing classes, high school students partner with elementary students to compose poetry and produce a publication. Practice and persistence lead to beautiful harmonies. Juniors and seniors sing their message, fortissimo: Music is a worthy pursuit. Young singers perform backup while mature students model poise, technique, and musicality. In our high school’s choral concerts, freshmen sing alongside seniors. |
