Voice of the Day: James Baldwin

We should certainly know by now that it is one thing to overthrow a dictator or repel an invader and quite another thing really to achieve a revolution. Time and time and time again, the people discover ... themselves in the hands of yet another Pharaoh, who, since he was necessary to put the broken country together, will not let them go.

- James Baldwin
from his book The Fire Next Time
