“L'histoire de ce pays est indissociable de celle des communautés noires et racisées : des cultures africaines d'avant l'esclavage aux horreurs de la captivité et de l'asservissement, jusqu'aux conquêtes extraordinaires qui ont suivi l'émancipation. Connaître les deux facettes de cette histoire est essentiel pour aller vers la guérison, la réparation, la fierté et l’épanouissement de tous.“

Alexander Hitchens

Our Life Is Our Music

“L'histoire des Afro-Américains fait partie intégrante de l'histoire des États-Unis. On ne peut pas prétendre connaître l'histoire américaine sans comprendre celle des Noirs et comment cela continue d’affecter leur réalité aujourd'hui encore.“
