Different strokes for different folks


I remember some of the titles Richard Wright penned; Black Boy, Native Son, Uncle Tom's
Children. I particularly remember the character named Bigger Thomas in Native Son though
I think I'm confusing his charater for the one in the Invisible Man. I know both characters deal
with racial issues and each did it in there own unique way. Each dealt with the pervasive issue
in a fictionalized manner,quite differently than than the autobiographical tomes of Barack Obama as if you could say that he has dealt with racist constructs in the same manner as Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison. After ponder on this a bit I decide to move on to Martyr's
Monument directly in front of the bench. Memorial Day is right around the corner, how convient.

Just before reaching the Monument grated window to take a peek a little girl,big dog and Mom come around the short pedastal corner little girl dashing in the lead just in front of grated window door. I'm going to have to wait a bit before I can get a peek.
