Black is white,
Achromatic white is not black,
And Custer was yellow
African is Asian,
Asians Bering gifts are Indian givers
And whiteface Andrew Jackson sees red
First Man was bronzeblack,
Huitzilopchtli’s Aztecans copperybrown,
And Jefferson is jaundiced

I am an avocational archaeologist and I take parts of my collection of several thousand Indian artifacts (personal finds) to schools, nature centers, libraries etc. and talk about the 20,000 year history of The First people in Illinois. (See link to website)
I'm also a playwright (eleven plays produced), musician, historian (authority on the Underground Railroad in Illinois, the Tuskegee Airmen) and teacher.
