"Kami memiliki peradaban kami sendiri di Afrika sebelum kami ditangkap dan dibawa ke tanah ini. Kami mencium bau besi, menari, membuat musik dan puisi rakyat; kami memahat, bekerja dalam gelas, memintal kapas dan wol, menenun keranjang dan kain. Kami menemukan alat tukar, ditambang perak dan emas, membuat tembikar dan peralatan makan, kami membuat alat dan peralatan dari kuningan, perunggu, gading, kuarsa, dan granit. Kami memiliki literatur sendiri, sistem hukum, agama, kedokteran, sains, dan pendidikan kami sendiri."

--- Richard Wright

Versi Bahasa Inggris

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 invented a medium of exchange, mined silver and gold, made pottery and cutlery, we fashioned tools and utensils of brass, bronze, ivory, quartz, and granite. We had our own literature, our own systems of law, religion, medicine, science, and education.
