This monologue from THE BOOK OF SIR THOMAS MORE is widely believed to have been written by William Shakespeare. These words from Act 2, Scene 4 speak out in protest against a nation’s hostility towards immigrants, making “The Strangers’ Case.”
We share this to stand up against the hate and racism directed at the Asian American community - a hate that has intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic. The words have even greater resonance, as people protest and speak out in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, and to denounce this country's "mountainish inhumanity."
