The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    “no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
    or thought:
    no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
    terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
    of escape open: no route shut,”
    —Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
