“We had our own civilization in Africa before we were captured and carried off to this land. We smelted iron, danced, made music and folk poems; we sculpted, worked in glass, spun cotton and wool, wove baskets and cloth.

We had our own literature, our own systems of law, religion, medicine, science, and education.” MadeLawLiteratureJusticeLandCivilizationDiversityToolsGoldSocial JusticeMedicineFolksGlassesMediumsSilverIronCapturedBasketsCottonIvoryBrassSpunBronzePotteryWoolGraniteUtensilsQuartzCutlery Author:Richard Wright
