Tonight I’m working on copy/pasting journal entries from our old Hypercard family diary into the Stonegate blog. I copied over Michael Fletcher’s Big Nose, which is about the first night of bombing in the Gulf War and has little Danny asking questions about gas masks. As I read the posting, in the background I had iTunes playing Stevie Wonder’s Songs from the Key of Life. I heard a teacher shout out the question “Who invented the gas mask?”, and the kids yelled in response “Garrett Morgan, A Black Man.” Strange coincidence.
See: Lyrics to Black Man
Hear: The song Black Man
Now playing: Black Man from “Songs In The Key Of Life” by Stevie Wonder
