Ibram X. Kendi
“When men oppress their fellow-men, the oppressor ever finds, in the character of the oppressed, a full justification for his oppression.â€� Douglass, amazingly, summed up the history of racist ideas in a single sentence.”
Ibram X. Kendi, Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America

Warsan Shire
“No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark.”
Warsan Shire, Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head

Toni Morrison
“The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and you spend twenty years proving that you do. Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Somebody says you have no art, so you dredge that up. Somebody says you have no kingdoms, so you dredge that up. None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing.”
Toni Morrison

Toni Morrison
“The narrower their lives, the wider their hips.”
Toni Morrison, Sula

“I now understand that life, and living it, is more about being present. I’m now aware that the not-so-happy memories lie in wait; but the hope and the joy also lie in wait.”
Viola Davis, Finding Me
