I encountered the outside world in the fi rst grade. It was the beginning of my journey on the discrimination segregation road, a long road that has taken me through high school, college, the US Army, and university into the world of work. The journey has left me with negative and sad experiences that will remain with me until my demise. However, I have had many happy experiences, especially teaching, travelling the world, and making many friends. Most of all, my students have remembered me with appreciation and love. As a Black gay man, my special hero was James Baldwin and Dr. King gave me hope that living in the United States would get better. Although like most of you, I have lived and survived in a troubled world. Things slowly continue to get better.
