James Baldwin Quotes

Perhaps We Were, All Of Us -pimps, Whores, Racketeers, Church Members, And Children -bound Together By The Nature Of Our Oppression, The Specific And Peculiar Complex Of Risks We Had To Run; If So, Within These Limits We Sometimes Achieved With Each Other A Freedom That Was Close To Love. I Remember, Anyway, Church Suppers And Outing, And Later, After I Left The Church, Rent And Waistline Parties Where Rage And Sorrow Sat In The Darkness And Did Not Stir, And We Ate And Drank And Talked And Laughed And Danced And Forgot All About "the Man." We Had The Liquor, We Had The Chicken, The Music, And Each Other, And Had No Need To Pretend To Be What We Were Not, This Is The Freedom That One Hears In Some Gospel Songs, For Example, And In Jazz.
