Also, in "The Summer of ... of time that seemed to go on forever. This was revealed by seasons that had ended without the next one coming. When James Hurst wrote the starting paragraphs of his short stories, he added in death.

- 1853: Walking The Tight Rope
- ... greatest challenges facing the Black world in the 21st century: how do we combat the dominant public image of young Black men that has largely been produced by mass media? Tupac Shakur's life and death is a microcosm of the larger picture. Do we dare peer into it? Rap music is no longer simply the local, communal form of entertainment that it was at its inception in the early 1970s ... implies that only those things ghettocentric are true and real in black culture. It endorses the use of street ethics to settle, like the willingness to bust a cap in someone if necessary. Tupac's death is only the most recent and heart-wrenching reminder that with those definitions of what is real, we are killing ourselves, carting ourselves off to jail or retiring at a young age to wheelchairs. Esther ... a gangsta rapper attempting to live up to his wrong-headed raps. Their analysis lacked the style or economy of my 14 year old son, who sadly proclaimed Tupac "stupid."
