Nellie McKay

I was saddened to hear about the passing of Nellie McKay, best known for co-editing the Norton Anthology of African American literature with Henry Louis Gates. That book has been an incredible resource for me.

Is it me, or have we seen the passing of too many cultural figures lately?

It's not only you. They are leaving daily. I registered one of my children with the program, ACRES upon hearing of Coretta Scott King's transition. We must prepare the young because the struggle continues.
