Description:	The inspiration for this book came from two sources: the book The Mis-Education of the Negro, written by Carter G. Woodson (1933), and the ideas expressed by Chinua Achebe, African novelist, in an interview with Bill Moyer. In his book, Woodson wrote, "The Negro will never be able to show all of his originality as long as his efforts are directed from without by those who socially proscribe him. Such "friends' will unconsciously keep him in the ghetto" (p. 28). In his interview with Bill Moyer, Achebe recounted how that when he read the novel The Heart of Darkness, he was cheering on the hunter until he realized that he was one of the savages being described.
