THOUGHTS ON TROY'S DENIED CLEMENCY:

 

 

 

"Through all the sorrow songs there breathes a hope; a faith in the ultimate justice of things. The minor cadence of despair change often to triumph & calm confidence. Sometimes it is faith in life, sometimes a faith in death, sometimes assurance of boundless justice in some fair world beyond. But whatever it is, the meaning is always clear: that sometime, somewhere, men will judge men by their soul & not their skins. Is such hope justifed?"-W.E.B Dubois,1903
