[laughter] for being rude, but here we go. everywhere i to journalists ask me why i choose, why i chose to return home to mississippi. i recently wrote an essay about it where i wrestled with mississippi's often violent history of racial inequality, and after doing so came to the conclusion that it is the beauty of the place and the fierce fight and inherent good of so many here who do everything they can to make a better future for mississippi that make me feel better about my decision to return. and even though i felt fairy satisfied with that -- fairly satisfied with that answer in my essay upon finishing it, later when i looked at the essay again, i didn't want. like many writers, i found it unfinished, incomplete. why? in part i realized that my decision to return home is not final, not resolved, that my retu

, tennessee, those type, even west of the mississippi. there is a lot of subjects that are uncovered out there. to problem is i am supposed and i sincerely thank the editor his consultations on me on this book on vicksburg. is almost at 500 words if i remember correctly. [laughter] when -- if and when that book is ever published, which will obviously be the master work on vicksburg, the problem is it is not going to sell. i didn't say that. why is it not going to sell? people do not buy in the same number subjects on the western theater that they do on the eastern theater. if i can slap something on there like vicksburg, the gettysburg i would sell 10,000 more copies about it. the first thing i want to do in stepping off into this minefield is having acknowledged everything that i have. i hate to let the elephant out of the room but i don't think the question is which is more important, gettysburg or vicksburg. i think the relevant question is why is gettysburg bigger than vicksburg? is anybody really going to debate that with me? psyche,

when i was a child, mississippi taught me many things. it taught me to grow up hungry for food and comfort and that the long arm of history wraps around all of us every day and squeezes tightly, a discomfiting hog . it taught me that many who call this place home and all people of african descent are immeasurably less but this place also taught me what it was to grow up satiated by love of family, of community. it taught me to love language, and the connection it engendered. it taught me that it never only spoke the language of oppression, of hate, that could speak love to. it could speak tenderly with gentle hands. mississippi speaks when my grandmother hugged me to her and eileen into her and close my eyes, inhaling her perfume , feeling her long white hair on my face, a wispy caress. she speaks when my nephew drives me home and the place songs he wants me to hear, dark eyes watchful for my approval, a quick smile when i say yes, i like this. she speaks to my son and the path his leg and holds out her head and my son takes my sons paul
