Quote #10

Watching Sekou grow, I realized that the desires I had expressed to the parole board were real— more than anything in the world, my dream was to give our son a better world than the one Ebony and I had inherited. (26.32)

This quote is a nice combination of seeing justice as about a whole community and seeing justice as about an individual's experience. It's a personal connection between Shaka and his new son Sekou that really brings home to him how much he wants to make the whole world better.
