Or maybe it was watching pieces of "The Abolitionists" on PBS again.<br />
<br />
It's a group of folks so ignored and yet so vital to the USA we live in today...well, at least the better angels of it. Quiet as its kept, there's a good chance I would not be living in the USA today if not for these amazing, but little appreciated people. Some call them (derisely) "do-gooders", "goody-two-shoes", "school marms", "meddlers", "patsies" or they lump them under the all-purpose epithet, "nigger-lovers".<br />
<br />
So here I go...again, starting a blog that I plan to become at least one book about some of the most maligned and misunderstood people the world has ever known - the people old "black" folks, including Oprah's momma, used to lovingly call "good white folks".<br />
<br />
I think I'm way, way overdue. What about you?<br />
