Anna Deavere Smith Zitate

Deutsche Übersetzung

Als ich die Schauspielschule verließ, hatte ich das Glück, überhaupt einen Job bekommen zu haben. Viele Leute stellten afroamerikanische Schauspieler an - es war direkt nach "Roots" und für die Gesellschaft, nicht für mich, war es großartig. Nette, dunkelhäutige Menschen waren die Mode, und ich nicht.

What we forget is that African Americans made the largest contribution to America, economically, before the Civil War of any sector of society. I read that the railroads were worth about $2 billion, but slavery was a $3 billion asset.
