Summary

This quote suggests that both the African American community and the white community have something to offer each other in terms of personal growth and liberation. It implies that the white man's actions and history create feelings of guilt, and being exposed to the African American experience may offer a path to redemption. Similarly, the African American community who may have suffered from generational fears and oppression can find freedom by being recognized, understood, and supported by the white man. Together, these two communities can overcome past injustices and move forward towards a more equitable society.
