Book cover for We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy
Indeed, in America there is a strange and powerful belief that if you stab a black person ten times, the bleeding stops and the healing begins the moment the assailant drops the knife.

Colson Whitehead
“was like one of those Negroes Dr. King spoke of in his letter from jail, so complacent and sleepy after years of oppression that they had adjusted to it and learned to sleep in it as their only bed.”
Colson Whitehead, The Nickel Boys

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“It is insufficient to state the obvious of Donald Trump: that he is a white man who would not be president were it not for this fact.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy

Colson Whitehead
“If it is true for you, it is true for someone else, and you are no longer alone.”
Colson Whitehead, The Nickel Boys

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“I did not ask. Later I felt bad about this. I knew, even then, that whenever I nodded along in ignorance, I lost an opportunity, betrayed the wonder in me by privileging the appearance of knowing over the work of finding out.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“The most precious thing I had then is the most precious thing I have now—my own curiosity. That is the thing I knew, even in the classroom, they could not take from me. That is the thing that buoyed me and eventually plucked me from the sea.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy
