An Open Letter From Assata Shakur: "I Am a 20th Century Escaped Slave"
"People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression,
the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think
oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have
to be acutely aware of being a slave."
― Assata Shakur, Assata: An Autobiography
