Ta-Nehisi Coates
Posted in Uncategorized on December 28th, 2009 by Peter – Comments OffI haven’t bought his book on growing up in West Baltimore yet, but this piece by Ta-Nehisi Coates is quite good. In it he discusses, among other things, the impact of having two parents who were present: he draws an analogy of “being dragged across the finish line” while growing up that I think is quite perceptive.
