First sentence: I want to address the first topic of this conference in three parts: first, I want to present a parable about canon-formation at crucial moments of cultural liminality in the black tradition, a parable in which the figures of Alexander Crummell, John C. Calhoun, Greg Tate, and Wole Soyinka play their parts.
