Summary: Did I do that?
Review: One of my favorite short stories in Talk that Talk is Historical arenas of African American Storytelling. It's about a slave who has an excellent memory and is demand by his massa as well as the devel. Well just the other week I was put in an awkward situation. Someone emailed my boss and used my name saying they "thought" they gave me an important transaction. This incident happened over three months ago but I remembered it as if it had happened the day before. I replied by giving names, times, and even how the transation took placed. The people that were involved were amazed that I could remember such details. I wanted to tell them that I was a distant relative of Sam. But that would have been our little joke. This story fascinates me because our people have extrodinary memories that has to be a God given talent. What was meant for evil, always turn our for our good.
