Millenia had a dream of entering the author game on the same terms as anybody else.  There was a big catch, she’s black.  But when her first book, a color-neutral tome,  was shuffled off to the Blacks Only area she didn’t go and sit quietly on the back of the bus.  She raised hell, and futhermore she acted by initiating a discrimination lawsuit.  Much consternation ensued.

Few of the mainstream white literari supported her.  Some considered her a Bad Negro, an uppity, angry nigg*ress who should keep to her place and be grateful she was published at all.  Others, particularly some authors, stuck their necks out in support although they weren’t black or confined to the Black Only literary area. 

Can you believe the story had a happy ending?  The gag isn’t ideal, but big corporations who settle usually take care to have this put in place.  

I’m very pleased to share that the matter has now been resolved to my satisfaction through an agreement, the terms of which can never be discussed.

…here will be no further information about the lawsuit on my blog. I’m extremely happy to have this heartbreak behind me - I give beaucoup thanks to my wonderful attorney. And I likewise send a deep, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who offered their unwavering support. I’ll remember it always.
