"you were born where you were born and faced the future that you faced because you were black and for no other reason. the limits of your ambition were, thus, expected to be set forever. you were born into a society which spelled out with brutal clarity, and in as many ways as possible, that you were a worthless human being. you were not expected to aspire to excellence: you were expected to make peace with mediocrity. wherever you have turned, james, in your short time on this earth, you have been told where you could go and what you could do (and how you could do it) and where you could live and whom you could marry. i know your countrymen do not agree with me about this, and i hear them saying "you exaggerate." they do not know harlem, and i do. so do you. take no one's word for anything, including mine- but trust your experience. know whence you came."

aciste donde naciste y enfrentaste el futuro que enfrentaste porque eras negro y por ninguna otra razón. Por lo tanto, se esperaba que los límites de su ambición se establecieran para siempre. usted nació en una sociedad que expresó con brutal claridad, y de tantas formas como le fue posible, que era un ser humano sin valor. no se esperaba que usted aspirara a la excelencia: se esperaba que hiciera las paces con la mediocridad. Dondequiera que hayas girado, James, en tu corto tiempo en esta tierra, te han dicho adónde puedes ir y qué puedes hacer (y cómo puedes hacerlo) y dónde puedes vivir y con quién puedes casarte. Sé que sus compatriotas no están de acuerdo conmigo en esto y les oigo decir "exageras". ellos no conocen Harlem, y yo sí. tú también. No confíe en la palabra de nadie, incluida la mía, pero confíe en su experiencia.saber de donde vienes.
