14 jul. 2021 - ‘Ze hebben zulke rare ideeën!’ was de doorsnee reactie op het speelse verzet van provo’s en hun geestverwanten tegen de bestaande orde. Maar zij bleken de ware realisten. Tegen het grimmige egoïsme van nu zou hun vrolijke vrijheidsgeest een geducht wapen zijn.

20 aug. 2020 - I will look for you in the stories of new kings. Juneteenth isn’t mentioned in the writings of W.E.B. Du Bois or Carter Woodson, the founder of The Journal of Negro History. I haven’t yet come across a description of the first Juneteenth celebrations equivalent to Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson’s report of the ceremonies for the Emancipation Proclamation as it was read aloud on Port Royal Island, South Carolina, on New Year’s Day, 1863. Black troops, white commanders, white clergymen, white women schoolteachers, black women schoolteachers, and the formerly enslaved turned resisters gathered at the sober campground to ratify in their hearts the next covenant of the Republic.
