CHAPTER 13

A CULTURE OF REPAIR

I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races.

—ABRAHAM LINCOLN, SIXTEENTH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, WHOSE PROCLAMATION FREED AMERICA’S ENSLAVED BLACK PEOPLE

MYTH:

The past is the past, so forward-facing policies that give the same thing to everyone are sufficient.

If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there’s no progress. If you pull it all the way out, that’s not progress. The progress is healing the wound that the blow made.

—MALCOLM X, AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSLIM MINISTER AND HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST
