The Indian World ...

progress: 
 
  (page 378 of 620)
"Alexander McGillivray could teach Mr. "Art of the Deal" a thing or two. Presenting himself as the sole leader of the Creek people, he played the countries who courted him off one another, winning many privately enriching concessions along the way, while frustrating natives and colonialists alike. Still, he managed to protect Creek lands & culture for another generation, a solace not afforded other Indian nations." Mar 07, 2019 10:38PM

“There has been a tendency to personify racism in the figure of a working-class white redneck who dislikes Black people and spouts hateful things, as opposed to a middle-or upper-class white person who might decry such hatefulness but still embraces racially unjust policies.”
Jeanne Theoharis, A More Beautiful and Terrible History: The Uses and Misuses of Civil Rights History

Michael Ondaatje
“You return to that earlier time armed with the present, and no matter how dark that world was, you do not leave it unlit. You take your adult self with you. It is not to be a reliving, but a rewitnessing.”
Michael Ondaatje, Warlight

Jesse Ball
“he who looks too hard for any particular thing, though he may find it, will certainly miss the most wondrous and strange things he passes, though they stare him in the face.”
Jesse Ball, Census
