The Men of Old Charleston Will Rise Up and Condemn . . .

“If you were going to be conceived as the child of black parents in North America, would you prefer Charleston in 1850 or Chicago in 2015?

Be brutally honest, and in the light of that honesty I would then invite you to rethink everything you thought you knew about racial reconciliation.”

Skin and Blood, pp. 36-37
