No one would diss humankind including himself more than Will
And it is precisely this non-idolatrous iconoclasm that creates a basis for saying one is an immortal
It takes a few other things and Will had them all in abundance
One writes in the poast tense only because the elements have taken away Will's capacity to do much more than smile at his nurses and a flow of visitors to where he is in Nashville
From 1960 until last summer Will and I were is almost constant contact
He was a hero of our struggle to exact reparations from the white denominations
He helped get Little Rock kids into school on a fatal day in the 1950s
He befriended the Klan
He walked the walk
Wheeling about now I think he achieves things gurus only dream about
