The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 2nd study session on Leanita McClain's posthumously published A Foot In Each World. McClain continued the legacy of exceptional black journalists. She had content published in the Chicago Tribune and The Washington Post. Her columns mostly focused on Racism and the terrorism waged against black people in all areas of people activity. She succumbed to suicide in May of 1984 at the age of 32. Her suicide letter illustrates the degree to which White Supremacy decimated her mental health. She wrote: "Do not try to pull my back into this world. I will never live long enough to see my people free anyway." A Foot In Each World is a compillation of writings that was edited by her former husband Clarence Page. He includes some of McClain's poetry to reveal the greater depths of McClain's brilliance and heartache. It seems that her fear of being spurned or vilified by other black people was a constant source of despair She also seemed to harbor unsatisfied hopes of at least a few "Good Whites." This week we'll review her seminal essay, "How Chicago Taught Me To Hate Whites" - which remains a colossal illustration of top-notch journalism and a devastatingly accurate commentary on what it means to be White. #BlackMentalHealth INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
