Chika (Jane Chika Oranika) Quotes
It’s the South — the deep, deep South, at that, so, there’s a still a lot of like underlying discrimination there. Growing up in it — or being born into it — you don’t know it. But once you become educated on the history of where I’m from, you start to pick out certain things. Racism, in Alabama right now, is more nuanced than it was back then. It’s more covert and disguised very well.
