May I share this post on a local Lynchburg based substack called “Bridge of Lament”? I want to highlight Ota Benga this month and I came across this post and it’s beautiful
Superb account and a beautiful honor of a man not only wronged by America, but simply humiliated by the nasty virus of racism. Your words renew some dignity and imbue empathy here, thank you brother. You continue to teach and inspire.

Very moving and beautifully written. Thanks for enlightening us.
This is a great post. I knew about Ota Benga but not about his time in Lynchburg. Thank you!
You're welcome, Chris. Good to hear - there is so much to his experiences there.
