Black Quote by Roger Ross Williams

“I think many Dutch just don't know the history of Black Pete, that he is rooted in slavery, and how he was used to dehumanize a race of people. Once they realize this, many stop using this character, but those who continue are either in denial, insensitive or actually racists.” quote by Roger Ross Williams — Download Open image
