Title: "if they had only known they were slaves" Post by: Tyehimba on August 27, 2003, 03:16:20 PM I freed hundreds of slaves in my life time. I could have freed hundreds more if
they had only known they were slaves." - Harriet Tubman Title: Re: "if they had only known they were slaves& Post by: Souljah on September 17, 2003, 10:12:12 AM I feel this quote remains true even in todays day and age. Slavery does not only intale the rapture and confinement of a person physically, but one can be capture/tortured within the bounderies of their mind. Slavery can often relate to a mindset, a way of belief and thinking, or in actuality, a lack of fruitful thinking. Malcolm X said "There are slaves living around even today."

Accepting less than what is natually granted. The acceptance of the position in ones life even if unhappiness cohabits. Buying into a forced reality even though it feels just that...forced. Give thanks Ras_tyehimba for this quote. Feeling blessed to be here, ..Kingston.. |
