Ta-Nehisi Coates Quotes
The Fact Of History Is That Black People Have Not
Probably No People Have Ever
Liberated Themselves Strictly Through Their Own Efforts. In Every Great Change In The Lives Of African Americans We See The Hand Of Events That Were Beyond Our Individual Control, Events That Were Not Unalloyed Goods. You Cannot Disconnect Our Emancipation In The Northern Colonies From The Blood Spilled In The Revolutionary War, Any More Than You Can Disconnect Our Emancipation From Slavery In The South From The Charnel Houses Of The Civil War, Any More Than You Can Disconnect Our Emancipation From Jim Crow From The Genocides Of The Second World War. History Is Not Solely In Our Hands. And Still You Are Called To Struggle, Not Because It Assures You Victory But Because It Assures You An Honorable And Sane Life.
