Want to find refuge where black ppl exercised power, possessed essential knowledge, n educated the west, built monuments.

Exodus book provided blacks w/ language to critique am"s racist state n build new nation; represented dreams of black self- determination, independence w/ own rules n beliefs, developing or own cultures, w/o interference. The impulse toward separatism, defined broadly, is rooted in maroonage and the desire to leave the place of oppression for either a new land or some kind of peaceful coexistence. In u. s, impulse to leave conflicted w/ black claims to full citizenship n full remuneration for our contribution to nation.
