Paragraph(s) of the day from A Different Closet
Keith was conscious of having barely spoken during the proceeding half hour. He was mesmerized. “I had no idea. I didn’t know anything about your story or any of these I’ve heard. I hadn’t even considered them.”
“Most people haven’t,” Bush said. “Mr. Ingram, here’s the thing. We’re not asking for special treatment. All we want is a fair shake. You know, freedom, equal rights. That’s it. I know Bobby’s convinced you can help us, and I think you can, too. When I left San Jose last night, all my friends were excited that I was coming to meet you. You’re big news and good news, and that’s something we can use. Please help us, Mr. Ingram, will you?”
