“Caves of Our Fathers”

Toledo Smith speaks from the heart about the dream of his father, Montana Smith, that there would one day be a Museum of Unnatural History and that it would have a cave. Ross Arbes wrote a fantastic speech that I delivered at the grand opening of the cave in the museum at 826DC in Columbia Heights.

The poet and writer Sandra Beasley took this really fun photograph. Make sure to check out her memoir “Don’t Kill the Birthday Girl,” out on July 12 from Crown.
