“Should I grab something, start crying and screaming, punch you or one of your detectives? Would that get your attention? Maybe the media would come running! I punch you; you arrest me! The media would be all over that! ‘Crazy black mother punches police captain! Details at eleven!’ I’ll do that if it’ll help me find my daughter! How’s that sound to you?”

“How we treat Sarah Hayes is important. But we must follow up this meeting with a call to action. I do not want to see any innocent citizen, white or black, killed unnecessarily by a police officer. When something like this happens to a black kid, my natural instinct is to say, ‘Thank God it’s not my kid’ or to ask, ‘What if that were my kid?’ Wouldn’t any officer feel the same way if a person of their race was killed?”

“Le illustrazioni sono di Marsh Davies. Due di esse – il Giovane servo e la Regina sacerdotessa – sono ispirate a veri reperti archeologici dell’antica città di Mohenjo-Daro, nella valle dell’Indo (anche se ovviamente non avevano pezzi di iPad attaccati). Non sappiamo molto sulla cultura di Mohenjo-Daro – alcuni reperti suggeriscono che fosse completamente egualitaria secondo modalità davvero interessanti. Ma nonostante la mancanza di un contesto, gli archeologi che le hanno rinvenute hanno denominato Re sacerdote la testa in steatite riprodotta a pag. 287, mentre hanno chiamato Danzatrice la figura femminile in bronzo riprodotta a pag. 286. Portano tuttora questi stessi nomi. A volte penso che per trasmettere tutto il senso di questo libro potrebbero bastare questi fatti e queste due illustrazioni.”
