  • Truely a great father of all of us, les nègres. The world has not even begun to appreciate what he has brought to it, nor do those dearest to him truely understand his resounding words. Go in peace Cesaire, and be no more haunted by your identity!

  • A great thinker and scholar! A great man with a courageous spirit! A true visionary!
