“Don’t worry what Massa call you. Keep your true name inside. Kunta Kinte. I promise I’m gonna keep it, too. This isn’t your home. But this is where you got to be. -- Don’t know what else to say to you... but I know rain that fall in Virginny get burned off by the sun. I know it rise up into the clouds. I know clouds drift away. Maybe them clouds drift all the way cross the ocean to that river you call Kamby Bolongo. Maybe same rain fall here fall there. On your own people. And I know they want you to live. I’m sure ‘bout that. So now you got to live. Hear me, Kunta Kinte? ... You live.”
