Ta-Nehisi Coates
“I see the fight against sexism, racism, poverty, and even war finding their union not in synonymity but in their ultimate goal — a world more humane.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy

Tulsi Gabbard
“Dr. King went on to say that Hawaii served as a 'noble example' of what was possible in terms of 'racial harmony and racial justice'—of what was possible even in the South, where the 'struggle' was still ongoing.”
Tulsi Gabbard
