Start:
I LIVE THE ANSWER! In my village at home it is the exceptional man who can even read a newspaper… or who ever sees a book at all. I will go home and much of what I will have to say will seem strange to the people of my village. But I will teach and work and things will happen, slowly and swiftly.

Lorraine Hansberry, A Raisin in the Sun, Samuel French, 1984, pp.120.
