Leggendo "The fire next time" di James Baldwin pubblicato nel 1963:
"But in order to deal with the untapped and dormant force of the previously subjugated, in order to survive as human, moving, moral weight in the world, America and allthe Western nations will be forced to reëxamine themselves and release themselves from many thing that are now taken to be sacred, and to discard nearly all the assumptions that have been used to justify their lives and theie anguish and their crimes so long".
