“The club is documented in the recently published book “Crown Me!” In the book, Peggy Fleming does a Zora Neale Hurston, capturing folklore. It’s street anthropology, a study of a people and their wisdom, documenting intelligence not determined by a degree, showing that a janitor can step toe-to-toe with a chemist. It’s what many people in the black community have known for a long time: A degree may not make him the smartest man in the room.”
