—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“Universal history is the history of a few metaphors.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
