Chapter: How to Think Like Ira Aldridge
What we can learn from the first black Shakespearean to achieve international professional renown? From 1825 until 1867, Aldridge toured throughout Europe.

This dystopian nightmare is already here, but it has just begun, and if left to the desires of the evil controlling devils in power, it will only get worse every day.
