Studs Terkel

I read Studs Terkel's interview of C.P. Ellis tonight for the fourth time. How can a narrative that I know by heart move me so...? The story of C.P. Ellis and Ann Atwater should be read by everyone (Its available in Studs Terkel's book American Dream. You can also find it in Paula Rothenberg's edited collection Race, Class, and Gender in the United States, 6th edition, Worth Publishers, 2004).
