Ta-Nehisi Coates

I 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.
