Ben H. Winters Quotes

Now I See Things Differently. It Took Me Some Time, But I Know The Secret Now. Freedman Town Serves A Good Purpose
Not For The People Who Live There, Lord Knows; People Stuck There By Poverty, By Prejudice, By Laws That Keep Them From Moving Or Working. Freedman Town's Purpose Is For The Rest Of The World. The World That Sits, Like Martha, With Dark Glasses On, Staring From A Distance, Scared But Safe. Create A Pen Like That, Give People No Choice But To Live Like Animals, And Then People Get To Point At Them And Say 'Will You Look At Those Animals? That's What Kind Of People Those People Are.' And That Idea Drifts Up And Out Of Freedman Town Like Chimney Smoke, Black Gets To Mean Poor And Poor To Mean Dangerous And All The Words Get Murked Together And Become One Dark Idea, A Cloud Of Smoke, The Smokestack Fumes Drifting Like Filthy Air Across The Rest Of The Nation.
