"I often disagree with [Greg] Tate, but I seldom fail to learn something. That's why I read him, in the end. The truth is, we have enough cheerleaders and we have plenty of hanging judges, too. Both have their uses.  What Tate represents is a much rarer combination of caring and critique.  So, gentlefolk, read him, argue with him...and, most important of all: keep this nigger boy writing." -- Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (1992)
