Quotes by Jenn M. Jackson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“When examined over time, it becomes clear that Black women continue to confront the true nature of this society despite the risks to themselves.”
Jenn M. Jackson, Black Women Taught Us: An Intimate History of Black Feminism

“we cannot divorce capitalism from race, nor can we divorce our struggle against racism from our struggle against capitalism. Every financial crisis is a racial crisis as well.”
Jenn M. Jackson, Black Women Taught Us: An Intimate History of Black Feminism

“Accountability is about harm acknowledgment, harm reduction, and healing justice. Acknowledging the harm means that we must first be able to tell the truth about what has transpired.”
Jenn M. Jackson, Black Women Taught Us: An Intimate History of Black Feminism

“we cannot divorce capitalism from race, nor can we divorce our struggle against racism from our struggle against capitalism. Every financial crisis is a racial crisis as well.”
Jenn M. Jackson, Black Women Taught Us: An Intimate History of Black Feminism

“Black women taught us how to listen and work. It’s time we do both.”
Jenn M. Jackson, Black Women Taught Us: An Intimate History of Black Feminism

“Racism is rooted in law. It is embedded in every institution in this land. It is all around us all the time and it orders all of society.”
Jenn M. Jackson, Black Women Taught Us: An Intimate History of Black Feminism

“Black women take on immense risk when we choose to speak, write, and champion the truth despite a societal commitment to misremembering, watering down, and whitewashing history.”
Jenn M. Jackson, Black Women Taught Us: An Intimate History of Black Feminism

“The fact of the matter is: There is enough room for all of us. There is enough freedom for all of us. There is enough justice and enough love for all of us. And, when we begin to forget that, we start to reinscribe the same systems that we seek to destroy.”
Jenn M. Jackson, Black Women Taught Us: An Intimate History of Black Feminism
