Quote #10
"I'm gonna rise," he said. "One day I'm gonna rise. They can't keep down the Indians. Right on brother, huh?" (16.2.125)
Trying to express some pride in himself and his people, King announces to Lipsha that he's going to rise. As part of his breast beating, he cites his race, claiming, "They can't keep down the Indians." Apparently, he seems himself as part of a larger struggle between his people and an unnamed "they."
