Quote by Patrick Henry

There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be freeif we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contendingif we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon, until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtainedwe must fight!I repeat it, sir, we must fight!! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts, is all that is left us!

There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be freei

Summary

This quote, famously said by Patrick Henry during his speech to the Virginia Convention in 1775, emphasizes the urgent need for action and resistance in the face of oppression. Henry asserts that hope alone is insufficient for achieving freedom and preserving the invaluable rights for which they have been fighting. He urges his audience to take up arms and fight for their cause, proclaiming that their only remaining recourse is to appeal to the divine power and commit to the battle. This powerful statement reflects the resolve and determination of the American colonists to continue their struggle for liberty.

When we were at school we were taught to sing the songs of the Europeans. How many of us were taught the songs of the Wanyamwezi or of the Wahehe? Many of us have learnt to dance the rumba, or the cha cha, to rock and roll and to twist and even to dance the waltz and foxtrot. But how many of us can dance, or have even heard of the gombe sugu, the mangala, nyang umumi, kiduo, or lele mama?
