Passage #416: 16 August 2017
Double America
"The record is there for all to read. It resounds all over the world. It might as well be written in the sky. One wishes that Americans — white Americans — would read, for their own sakes, this record and stop defending themselves against it. Only then will they be enabled to change their lives. The fact that they have not yet been able to do this — to face their history to change their lives — hideously menaces this country. Indeed, it menaces the entire world." – James Baldwin
