”The Underdogs”

  “ I have learned the truth about the world: that it isn’t as round as a tennis ball, and it isn’t shaped like itself. It is shaped according to the way we see it, the way we mould it to our ambitions and our destiny. I know the colour of who I am. I am a black man, running for my life, for my freedom, for opportunity born from the struggle, possibility born from sacrifice. And I am running too. For my father, who never became what he hoped to be, and who never got to see what his children would one day become.”
