I was not born with a hunger to be free. I was born free — free in every way that I could know
Free to run in the fields near my mother's hut, free to swim in the clear stream mat ran through
my village, free to roast mealies under the stars and ride the broad backs of slow-moving bulls. As
long as I obeyed my father and abided by the customs of my tribe, I was not troubled by the laws
of man or God
