For a man who couldn’t read or write until middle age, William Henry Singleton had a powerful command of words.
He drilled them into the heads of the freed slaves he trained to fight in the 1860s; he shouted them from the pulpit of New Haven’s Varick Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church in the 1890s; he planted them firmly in the memories of kids who sat mesmerized on his Dixwell Avenue porch in the 1930s.
