BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 12
Wednesday, February 21, 2024
“But I am really saying something very simple. The will of the people, or the state, is revealed by the state’s institutions. There was not, then, nor is there, now, a single American institution, which is not a racist institution. And racist institutions – the unions, for one example, the Church, for another, and the Army – or the military – for yet another, are meant to keep the nigger in his place. Yes: we have lived through tokens and concessions but white power remains white. And what it appears to surrender with one hand it obsessively clutches in the other.” – James Baldwin, Dark Days
