Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration 2011
For the photo book, REGARDS NOIRS, Henry Roy gathered together 60 black and métisses personalities who overcame prejudice, confronted stereotypes and were an example of the complexity and diversity of the francophone world. To deepen the discussion Roy asked each person to provide a quote or a few lines that conveyed the concept of personal identity. Carole Fredericks provided the following:
…Quand nous ferons en sorte que la cloche de la liberté puisse sonner, quand nous la laisserons carillonner dans chaque village et chaque hameau, dans chaque État et dans chaque cité, nous pourrons hâter la venue du jour où tous les enfants du Bon Dieu, les noirs et les blancs, les juifs et les gentils, les catholiques et les protestants, pourront se tenir par la main et chanter les paroles du vieux “spiritual” noir:
"Libres enfin. Libres enfin.
Merci Dieu Tout-Puissant, nous viola libres enfin."
…When we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
