Inspired all the time either work of these young scholars. A day that farah came to speak to our class, the work were studying was pain, which is already one of my favorite books. It was so moving because i realized while she was giving us this wonderful guidance, the first time id been taught literature by a black person, besides my mother who was of course my first instruction in reading and writing but its one of those moments that if you like should be marked and i want to extend my gratitude for that, and you continue to inspire me. Thank you so much. Thats the great joys of teaching, you dont know who is sitting out there in terms of this extraordinarily talented young writer who i would read it many years later without knowing that she was one of the students in the class. So its really lovely to think it also for being here tonight. I wanted to ask farah to share with us the introduction of harlem nocturne. Is really a beautiful way she brings these women onto the page pics i w
