 "As the great poet Keorapetse Kgositsile put it, 'When the clouds clear / We shall know the colour of the sky.' When movements have been unable to clear the clouds, it has been the poets--no matter the medium--who have succeeded in imagining the color of the sky, in rendering the kinds of dreams and futures social movements are capable of producing. Knowing the color of the sky is far more important than counting clouds. Or to put it another way, the most radical art is not protest art but works that take us to another place, envision a different way of seeing, perhaps a different way of feeling." -from Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination by Robin D.
