“Si on m’avait dit que je prendrais un jour la décision de venir vivre en Afrique, j’aurais juré que non. J’aimais beaucoup mon travail dans une banque à New York et je n’ai jamais eu envie de voyager en dehors des États-Unis,... Mais quand j’ai appris qu’un groupe s’organisait pour visiter l’Afrique, j’ai changé de projet pour saisir l’occasion de venir voir d’où avaient été déportés nos ancêtres. Je me suis donc inscrit pour visiter la maison des esclaves sur l’île de Gorée. J’avais déjà entendu parler de cette île grâce à la série Racines. C’était un film basé sur l’histoire familiale d’un écrivain qui racontait comment un de ses ancêtres avait été capturé en Afrique pour être vendu comme esclave en Amérique. Ce film avait donné envie à beaucoup d’Afro-Américains de connaître l’histoire de leurs ancêtres.”

“কারা গড়েছে সবকিছু
কারা সবচেয়ে চতুর
কারা সবচেয়ে বড়ো
কারা সবচেয়ে ধনী
কারা বলে তোমরা কুৎসিত আর তাদের দেখতে সবচেয়ে সুন্দর
কারা শিল্পের সংজ্ঞা বানায়
কারা বিজ্ঞানের সংজ্ঞা বানায়
কারা বোমা তৈরি করেছে
কারা বন্দুক তৈরি করেছে
কারা ক্রীতদাস কিনেছে, আর তাদের বেচেছে
কারা তাদের নাম দিয়েছে
কে বলেছে ডাহমার পাগল ছিল না
কারা ? কারা ? কারা ?”
― Somebody Blew Up America and Other Poems
