Gayton talked movingly about his great grandfather, Lewis Clarke, at a Folio event last night. Clarke was an escaped slave who became a key figure in anti-slavery politics and the source of much of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Gayton also talked some about the current state of race relations, how we get so close to progress only to fall back to mistrust. Blacks and whites need to talk more, befriend more, be more honest, and share more power, he said. But white Seattleites find it hard to be open and honest, an audience member said. “So do we!” Gayton admitted.
