One man cannot hold another man down in the ditch without remaining down in the ditch with him.~ Booker T. Washington
In Paulo Freire's words: As the oppressors dehumanize others and violate their rights, they themselves also become dehumanized. As the oppressed, fighting to be human, take away the oppressors' power to dominate and suppress, they restore the oppressors humanity they had lost in the exercise of oppression.
