This girl, named just “Genie", was a famous case of feral child syndrome and child abuse. She was strapped in a poorly lit, gray room to a toilet seat from when she was an infant until she was a pre-teen. When finally rescued by police, she was unable to speak or do anything properly, having been forced to sit in a chair with no human interaction for her entire life.

Give your daughters difficult names. Give your daughters names that command the full use of tongue. My name makes you want to tell me the truth. My name doesn’t allow me to trust anyone that cannot pronounce it right.

“Einstein, when he arrived in America, was shocked at how Black Americans were treated. “There is separation of colored people from white people in the United States,” he said. “That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. And, I do not intend to be quiet about it.” And, he wasn’t.

Although he had a fear of speaking in public, he made all the effort he could to spread the word of equality, denouncing racism and segregation and becoming a huge proponent of civil rights even before the term became fashionable. Einstein was a member of several civil rights groups (including the Princeton chapter of the NAACP).
