Abstract

Tree of Life Rashad L. Givhan (bio) A crude mark that neither God nor birth created.

[End Page 882] Rashad L. Givhan Rashad L. Givhan is working on an MA degree in English/Creative Writing at the University of Missouri in Kansas City, where he is also a graduate assistant in the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs.
