Katrina and America: The Fire Next Time

There’s no hperlink here. We just want to copy prophetic words about the struggle for the soul of America:

“If we do not now dare everything, the fulfillment of that prophecy,
re-created from the Bible in song by a slave, is upon us:
God gave Noah
the rainbow sign,
 No more water, the fire next time!

(James Baldwin,
The Fire Next Time, 1963)
