| Morrow. His comments conveyed an assertion that | | | | Ampim's following statement in quote " It is certain |

| The following is a comment by Professor Manu | | | | and be honest from the beginning, the method |
| Ampim: "It is ludicrous to give god like powers to one | | | | accredited to Willie Lynch was initially employed from |
| White man who allegedly gave a single speech almost | | | | the onset of the slave trade. A man who deals slaves |
