Stand up against prejudice

Editor, RE: “When subversive ideas came to Rwanda” (The New Times, August 25). I often wonder what really ails this the black man (generic man) that decades after the end of formal, overt colonization; more than a century and a half since the end of formal slavery (even though Jim Crow laws and the prejudice that fed them prevented effective emancipation), the black man and woman still needs to fight continuously for justice, to be recognised as an equal member of humanity and to be allowed the dignity that all human beings crave and which is our birthright.
