La Riots Quotes

“It's not just about Rodney. It's about all of us.”
― Christina Hammonds Reed, The Black Kids

“I feel ashamed that black people are both the agents and the victims of this chaos, and I don't want to be thought of like that. But I'm also ashamed of myself for thinking I'm somehow better. The shame I feel in my guts, pulsing, spiraling; but also everything feels very far away. I'm black, but my black is different from that of those rioters on TV.”
― Christina Hammonds Reed, The Black Kids
