"Some was born under French colonial rule in Upper Volta, West Africa. At age 4, he was taken by a Jesuit priest and imprisoned in a seminary built for training a new generation of "black" Catholic priest. Fifteen years later he escaped and walked 125 miles through dense jungle back home to Dagara. Many people there regarded him with suspicion because he had been contaminated by the "sickness".
