Editor’s Note:

Although I do not budge from my position that Prof. Blight is a disgrace of a man and a dishonor to the Douglassonian scholarly tradition I encourage folks to study his work. Study his work closely. If he is the authority he thinks himself to be and others allege him to be listen to him.

Dr. Douglass needs scholarly attention. Decades of lies will take decades of truths to correct.
