I was born and raised in the southeastern United States, then spent many years, while pursuing my education and serving in the U.S. Air Force, traveling around America and the world. Much of story is told in recent book releases like Greeting Flannery OConnor at the Back Door of My Mind and Dreams of the Immortal City Savannah.

Where would my KNOWING be, without you, Aberjhani. Here, in Oz, little is made of the "Book of Negroes" .. we are uninformed. Thank you, Aberjhani, for this lucid, so surreal, beautiful reference/Art/Write-up. You 'fill the gaps' about 'then', her-story,history itself........Kudos !!, fav, VIVA
Aberjhani replied:
