In order to better charge Moscow with human rights violations, the United States had to bend with regard to the more excessive aspects of Jim Crow. It had to yield to the insistent cries on the ground here in this country.

More quotes by Gerald Horne
I think - particularly in terms of the destiny of Africans in North America - our destiny has also been shaped indelibly by global alliances.
Gerald Horne
In the era of slavery, you could be a so-called Afro-Cuban one day and a so-called Black American the next day, or vice versa. I mean there was all this back and forth, and there was a lot of opposition in Black America to slavery in Cuba in particular, because slavery in Cuba lasted until the 1880s.
Gerald Horne
Cuba was in some ways a de facto state of the United States before 1959, given its proximity and given its neocolonial status.
Gerald Horne
It is only with the rise of the Civil Rights Movement that you begin to see different examinations of not only Reconstruction but slavery itself, and there is a lesson to be drawn here about how the times influence the writing of history, something that we should never forget.
Gerald Horne
As long as colonialism was allowed to reign and fester in Africa, it was going to be a source of tension, if not war, as was evidenced by World War I itself, which, among other things, featured Germany on one side of the barricades and Britain, which had come earlier to the table of colonial plunder, on the other.
Gerald Horne
I think we need to de-center the idea of US sovereignty.
Gerald Horne
Africa, being the major target of colonial plunder, therefore becomes a major source of conflict.
