2000s, 2007, Virginia Tech Prayer Vigil (April 2007)
“Sometimes it as though I were in hell and I do not grieve. I do not find anything to grieve over.”
A veces estoy en un infierno y no me lamento. No encuentro de qué lamentarme.
Voces (1943)
“Why do we need more Haitians? Take them out.”
Reportedly said in a meeting with lawmakers on immigration, as quoted in "'Sh*thole countries' respond to Trump's rhetoric" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-shthole-countries-response-from-haiti-africa-el-salvador/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab8a&linkId=46885064, CBS News. Trump denied making this comment.
"Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said "take them out." Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!"

Context: Historical processes have never much interested me, but history is full of stories, full of triumph and tragedy and battles won and lost. It is the people who speak to me, the men and women who once lived and loved and dreamed and grieved, just as we do. Though some may have had crowns on their heads or blood on their hands, in the end they were not so different from you and me, and therein lies their fascination. I suppose I am still a believer in the now unfashionable "heroic" school, which says that history is shaped by individual men and women and the choices that they make, by deeds glorious and terrible.
