“I was made for the library, not the classroom. The classroom was a jail of other people’s interests. The library was open, unending, free.”
“The point of this language of “intention” and “personal responsibility” is broad exoneration. Mistakes were made. Bodies were broken. People were enslaved. We meant well. We tried our best. “Good intention” is a hall pass through history, a sleeping pill that ensures the Dream.”
“But race is the child of racism, not the father.”
