I tell these details of "my summer vacation" not only because of the influence they had on my ability to improve Currents this year, but also because during that 12-block walk, I passed the same homeless man on the corner of G Street and 23rd every day, sitting on a short brick wall next to a clear bowl containing some change. We-that is, my roomates and I-knew the man as "Parnell," and each time our paths crossed, he greeted us with a "Hello, how ya doing?" perhaps while glancing up from his copy of The Washington Post. He appeared to eat regularly, and more importantly, despite all of our interactions-and the glaring presence of that bowl-he never asked us for money.

It's rather intimidating to walk into the home of a man who, with one little phone call, could find you the ideal job. The kind of job that you'd break the law to get. And not just any law--you know, an important one.

Nationally, a lack of strong black leaders for today's African-American youth is a much-debated issue. Locally, much has been made of the issue, and words like "plantation" have taken on a loaded meaning for Duke community members: Blacks too often are found in low-level positions--not ones invested with policy-making and influence-wielding power. A dearth of black leaders results in too few role models for aspiring African Americans, educators and other critics say, and to a great extent, they're right.

I remember submitting a column during the second semester of my freshman year to then-editorial page editor of The Chronicle Amy Reed. The column took a typical freshman perspective of the University in asking why we never protest anything. I had just witnessed my first "Take Back the Night" and meanwhile, producers of "The Program" were ravaging the quad, essentially taking it for themselves. I remember calling on my peers to forget about taking back the night--let's take back our campus.

As children, we were always taught not to talk to strangers. Living in New York my whole life, this advice was probably warranted, and if I were a parent, I'd probably instruct my children the same way. But I'm 20 years old now, and I think I'm old enough to distinguish between those to whom I should and should not talk.
