WHAT WAS LOST IN THE COLLAPSE: almost everything, almost everyone, but there is still such beauty.
“Fire is catching, she’d say, but if this one burns down the arena, I say good riddance.”

“Through a complex combination of whitewashing, guilt, and an intentional recasting of history that absolves them of their hatred, our historical translators have painted a sanitized, impressionist portrait of a struggle for Black liberation that was eventually fulfilled by American’s unwavering commitment to justice and equality. Out of whole cloth, they managed to fabricate a fantastic ahistorical myth that somehow became truth. They remember a socially conservative, respectable campaign of racial reconciliation, not a movement of anti-establishment revolutionaries. And for their sake, the doctrine of nonviolent resistance was eventually reduced to simple ‘nonviolence.’ They never speak of the ‘resisting.”

“And that’s part of our trouble. Thinking things are inevitable. Not believing change is possible.”
