Es war schwierig, einen Weg in "I Am Abraham" zu finden, um sich zuversichtlich genug zu fühlen, um Lincolns Persönlichkeit zu bewohnen. Ich begann mit einem Prolog in einer neutralen Stimme, schrieb über Lincoln im Weißen Haus mit einem schlauen jungen Reporter, der ihn wegen seiner bescheidenen Herkunft befragte.

I feel that no one should be ashamed or have fear or doubt within themselves when they speak about the roots or Africa wherein I and I originate from. It's like an individual who tries to disown himself, and to me, it is a form of defeat by disowning yourself.

To people all over America, I say, when you have my father in your corner, you will never again have to worry about being let down. He will fight for you all the time, all the way, every time.

One would think that in writing about literary men and matters there would be no difficulty in finding a title for one's essay, or that any embarrassment which might arise would be from excess of material. I find this, however, far from being the case.

From the U.S. Capitol Building to the White House, our national symbols that represent freedom to so many of us, were built by people who were anything but free.
