"Freedom" means nothing to those imprisoned under the 13th amendment who are basically kept as slaves

Wouldn't have imagined that i could love a James Earl Jones reading more than The Raven, but here we are

I got to see James Earl Jones give a talk on Othello. It was interesting, and he was a lot of fun during the Q&A.

Mostly what I remember about Othello was that it was suspected, but never confirmed, that Othello was black. Did the talk touch upon that?

Jones was a US Ranger.
xenjamin
No way!!! I never heard that. I believe it though. A legend and a king. No surprise he was a top notch soldier.
2774
Army Ranger
Snooj
I mean, he was also leader of the Empire so a Ranger is fairly believable. Gotta start somewhere.

Well, he had at least one story about drinking cobra blood during training in Thailand.

That's nature at least! What a cool guy.
