“Wat betreft de wederopbouw, en het langzaam weer opbouwen van het land, dat is waar we nu midden in zitten, ik denk niet dat we ons kunnen voorstellen wat de slavernij de mensen hier heeft aangedaan, dat gaat heel diep, deze dingen duren heel lang door, zelfs het zich afzetten tegen het kolonialisme heeft daar sporen van. Hier was het vrij laat, 1830, maar een beetje verder naar het Westen, duurde de slavernij 3 tot 4 eeuwen, 40 tot 60 miljoen mensen is geraamd, werden verplaatst van hier, naar Amerika, dat is geen kleinigheid he, Je zou zeggen dat is een Afrikaanse holocaust. (Dr. H Hinfelaar, witte Paters)”
