    Was given his biographical book to read in high school. To my rural conservative upbringing he certainly did seem “extreme” and he was “wrong” to hate white people and call them devils, but I couldn’t help but feel if I was in his shoes, and saw what he saw, and how he was treated - I would hate white people too. I wouldn’t want to be “civil” either. And I might even want to use violence. And so, it was another step on my leftward journey.
