Nina Simone, February 21, 1933 / 2021

«I’ll tell you what freedom is to me: No fear! I mean, really, no fear. If I could have that... half of my life, no fear. Lots of children have no fear. That’s the closest way—that’s the only way I can describe it, but that’s not all of it, but it is something to really, really feel... Like a new way of seeing. Like a new way of seeing something.» – Nina Simone, 1968, from ‘Nina Simone: An Historical Perspective’, a Peter Rodis production, 1970
