Quotes by Afrika Afeni Mills  (?)

“The problem is that White students tend to have far too few windows and far too many mirrors. What’s more, even the mirrors White students have, like funhouse mirrors, often provide them with a distorted view of themselves in relationship with others.”
Afrika Afeni Mills, Open Windows, Open Minds: Developing Antiracist, Pro-Human Students

“William Lloyd Garrison said, in response to questions about his fiery approach to abolitionism, that “I have a need to be all on fire, for I have mountains of ice about me to melt” (Mayer 1998).”
Afrika Afeni Mills, Open Windows, Open Minds: Developing Antiracist, Pro-Human Students

“One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

“An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law”
Martin Luther King Jr.

“I became convinced that noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good.”
Martin Luther King Jr., The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.

“One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. Every society has its protectors of status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions. Today, our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

“When those who have the power to name and to socially construct reality choose not to see you or hear you...when someone with the authority of a teacher, say, describes the world and you are not in it, there is a moment of psychic disequilibrium, as if you looked in the mirror and saw nothing. It takes some strength of soul--and not just individual strength, but collective understanding--to resist this void, this non-being, into which you are thrust, and to stand up, demanding to be seen and heard.”
Adrienne Rich, Blood, Bread, and Poetry: Selected Prose, 1979-1985
