And forever grateful to my high school Lit teacher who insisted on the course for seniors way back when. She followed Univ. of Maryland's lead that I believe was the first in the nation to bring the course to its curriculum back in the '70s/early '80s. Since then, nobody could tell me it is not a serious genre.

Found recently that WEB Dubois wrote speculative fiction back in 1920s called The Comet and waiting for it to arrive any day now.
