FYI- I want you to be aware that in the upcoming pages of March that the n-word will be used for the purpose of accurately characterizing historical dialogue. It is in this text solely to represent the violent environment that Lewis and countless men and women encountered during the Civil Rights Movement. This language will not be repeated in the classroom as we reference the text in discussion or in writing. Language has incredible power to empower and subjugate. Learned communicators recognize and respect linguistic boundaries.
