John Henrik Clarke Zitate

Had Elijah Muhammad tried to introduce an orthodox form of Arab-oriented Islam, I doubt if he would have attracted 500 people, but he introduced a form of Islam that would communicate with the people he had to deal with. He was the king to those who had no king, and he was the messiah to those some people thought unworthy of a messiah.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Hätte Elijah Muhammad versucht, eine orthodoxe Form des arabisch orientierten Islam einzuführen, bezweifle ich, dass er 500 Menschen anziehen würde, aber er führte eine Form des Islam ein, die mit den Menschen kommunizieren würde, mit denen er zu tun hatte. Er war der König für diejenigen, die keinen König hatten, und er war der Messias für diejenigen, die einige Leute für unwürdig hielten.

At the heart of the best documentaries, there is a journey of inquiry - someone who travels out into the world, comes back with a story, and who then finds meaning in it, and intrigue; someone who tells you about something you never quite knew before, or in a way you hadn't quite thought about.

I was a standup comic, which doesn't necessarily mean you interact with people all that much. In fact when I did shows, I wouldn't talk to the audience very much. Then my friend offered me a radio show, and I thought, you know, I'll try talking to people and see what kind of interviewer I was.
