A #century of #JamesBaldwin’s #prophetic #voice.

This #essay uses an #offensive #racial #epithet in #citing #JamesBaldwin’s #work. I choose to use it to underscore the important #insight that Baldwin meant to convey by using this #inflammatory #term.

#Athena or Athene, often given the #epithet #Pallas, is an #ancientGreekGoddess associated with wisdom, warfare, and #handicraft. Greek historians mention that Athena has ancient #Libyan origins in North Africa and was later #syncretized with the #RomanGoddess #Minerva. Athena was regarded as the patron and protectress of various cities across Greece, particularly the city of Athens, from which she most likely received her name. The #Parthenon on the #AcropolisOfAthens is dedicated to her.

Cynical is the name we give those we fear may be laughing at us.
