I wouldn’t take back anything that I’ve gone through/
I pray for strength for anything that I’m gonna do/
Whether joy, or it’s pain, I’m still okay/
I’m a be alright cause I’m not afraid

But the fact of slavery refuses to fade, along with the deeply embedded personal attitudes and public policy assumptions that supported it for so long.

It is a regeneration of the problem in a particularly perverse form.
