"Healing the Wounds of American Slavery by Payge Means Hopper is a brilliant, brilliant piece of work... my view has always been that it is the telling of truth that allows the suffering to speak. If no one tells the truth then the suffering gets rendered invisible...most people, most human beings, most fellow citizens are still in search of truth, that's what life ultimately is, it's a search, it's a quest for truth. It is an amazing book...you are going to hear more about this, trust me. You will here more about this book."

Your book is excellent, Payge. It’s taken me 8 months to read it and I am still not through. But I am savoring it. I just finished reading about death and fear of death chapter. Really can understand now better and am glad to the depth you shared. What a book! -Caroline Minkowski
