“I am crazy about the idea of Democracy. I want to see how it feels.”
Zora Neale Hurston
(1891–1960) American folklorist, novelist, short story writer
"Crazy for This Democracy" in Negro Digest (December 1945).
Context: I accept this idea of democracy. I am all for trying it out. It must be a good thing if everybody praises it like that. If our government has been willing to go to war and sacrifice billions of dollars and millions of men for the idea I think that I ought to give the thing a trial.
The only thing that keeps me from pitching head long into this thing is the presence of numerous Jim Crow laws on the statute books of the nation. I am crazy about the idea of Democracy. I want to see how it feels.
“As the plane climbed over the town and swung above the sea I knew how it felt to go into exile.”
