“In 1956,” I remember him saying, “we understood that slavery did not lead to freedom, that lies did not help the truth, that oppression did not foster ultimate equality.” What he said was simple, but it is hard to underestimate the importance of those simple truths when confronting the convoluted lies of official propaganda.
&quot;En 1956&quot;, recuerdo que dijo, &quot;entendimos que la esclavitud no conducía a la libertad, que las mentiras no ayudaban a la verdad, que la opresión no alimentaba la igualdad definitiva&quot;. Lo que decía era simple, pero es difícil subestimar la importancia de aquellas verdades simples cuando se confrontan las verdades farragosas de la propaganda oficial.
