Quote
Ignorance is not bliss.Oblivion is apathetic.Silence is acquiescence.Consciousness is being aware of yourself, your privilege, and the world around you.To be humane is to be a great human being.Your essence is of no more significance than her, him, they, us, and I.Empathy is I hear you; I understand you.Allie is I stand up with you, and I brave with you.Injustice isn’t one’s problem. It’s our problem.Yes, your life does matter. But right now, our life is a threat.

Quote
Who gets to be free?Is someone free when they don't have to think about the way people look at them or treat them because of the color of their skin?Is someone free when they don't have to spend time on this earth with people who have hearts made of hate?Or is someone only really free when they're no longer a part of this world?

Malcolm spent much of May speaking to large crowds at church meetings and Sunday rallies, repeatedly emphasizing that the Muslims were not at war with the police, but rather that the police were at war with the Black community as a whole.

Quote
For more than a half century, the Right has waged a relentless campaign against the goals and achievements of the Sixties’ movements for racial, social and economic equality. From Reagan to Trump, there has been an endless hammering away at caricatures of dopey hippies, traitorous peace protestors, bra-burning feminists, dangerous Black radicals, and commissars of political correctness.
