    Shatter the icons of slavery and fear.

    of the minstrel’s burnt-cork face
    with a proud, serene
    and classic bronze of Benin.

    Colonial system, public debts, heavy taxes, protection, commercial wars, etc., these offshoots of the period of manufacture swell to gigantic proportions during the period of infancy of large-scale industry. The birth of the latter is celebrated by a vast, Herod-like slaughter of the innocents.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)
