Lessons from Richard Rodriguez
Salon has an interesting (and freely available) interview with Richard Rodriguez.
Rodriguez found inspiration from one of those dead white males, Benjamin Franklin, who "was very important for the encouragement he gave me to strive and to strive and to succeed."
Had Rodriguez been born a few decades later, he would have been taught only in Spanish and encouraged to admire Montezuma, king of the Aztecs. And we would all be poorer for it.
