Oh shit.
Studs Terkel 
​is d​ead.
He was 96​ —
the blackest
white man 
I ever met. 
Blacker even than
his lifelong friend
Nelson Algren,
another black man
who happened
to be
born white.

BORN BLACK

Oh shit!
Studs Terkel
is dead.
He was 96 —
the blackest
white man
I ever met —
blacker than his

lifelong friend
Nelson Algren,

also dead,
another white man
who happened to
be born black.
