RICK: Professor, I have kind of an odd question.

HOBO: Yes, Rick?



RICK: I understand the history of slavery and racism in this country. I know that black people have been really oppressed. In general, my race has stood in the way of progress among black people for hundreds of years in both subtle and overt manners. And I'm ashamed of it all.



RICK: But what I don't get is how we kept them from doing anything historical except in February?
