Of the Training of Black Men
"Hence arises a new human unity, pulling the ends of earth nearer, and all men, black, yellow, and white. The larger humanity strives to feel this contact of Nations and sleeping hordes of the thrill of new life in the world, crying, "If the contact of Life and Sleep be Death, shame on such Life." This entry started out so powerful. He has a way of capitolizing certain letters that make me look at the words differently. I'm not really sure what all this means. I know he is talking about the first of three streams of thinking when the first slave ships were coming in. He refers to them as both a slave ship and a death ship. The way the entry started out confused me. I thought it was going a different direction, then it started talking about schools. In the last paragraph, why is Truth and Veil capitolized? I wasn't sure.
