“I’m not real, I’m just like you. You don’t exist in this society. If you did your people wouldn’t be seeking equal rights. You’re not real, if you were you’d have some status among the nations of the world. So we are both myths. I do not come to you as a reality, I come to you as the myth because that is what Black people are: myths. I came from a dream that the Black man dreamed long ago. I’m actually a presence sent to you by your ancestors.”
— Sun Ra, Space is the Place
