YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE You don’t have to be Jewish to shiver at the nightmare of Auschwitz you don’t have to be black to feel the agony and shame of slavery you don’t have to be native to be hurt by the arrogance of discovery you don’t have to be foreign to know what discrimination means you don’t have to be minority to understand the dominion of big numbers you don’t have to be homeless to go through the vagaries of life you don’t have to be rich to fear the uncertainty of tomorrow you don’t have to be crippled to suffer the pain of the handicapped you don’t have to be a star to stare at the volatility of the weather you just have to be human to know the plight of others. Tanure Ojaide (Nigeria, 1947) Remembering Michael Brown....!
