Ta-Nehisi Coates Quotes
I Read About Queen Nzinga Who Ruled In Central Africa In The 16th Century Resisting The Portuguese. I Read About Her Negotiating With The Dutch. When The Dutch Ambassador Tried To Humiliate Her By Refusing Her A Seat Nzinga Had Shown Her Power By Ordering One Of Her Advisers To All Fours To Make A Human Chair Of Her Body. That Was The Kind Of Power I Saw. And The Story Of Our Own Royalty Became For Me A Weapon.
