Audre Lorde
“School was going better for me than I had ever hoped. For the first time in my life, I began to know, really know, I was smart—smart as defined by being able to do the white man’s work, being able to study.”
Audre Lorde, Zami: A New Spelling of My Name

Nikesha Elise Williams
“Sorrow hugged her words.”
Nikesha Elise Williams, The Seven Daughters of Dupree

Nikesha Elise Williams
“Losing children, three snuffed out before they could even be considered, was a kind of pain Emma wore every day. She knew it well. She had gotten used to the cold spot in the bed; it had been there ever since Jeremiah. In life she learned that all you love you lose. Everything ends up on the other side.”
Nikesha Elise Williams, The Seven Daughters of Dupree

Assata Shakur
“Those who believe that the president or the vice-president and the congress and the supreme kourt run this country are sadly mistaken. The almighty dollar is king ; those who have the most money control the country and, through campaign contributions, buy and sell presidents, congressmen, and judges, the ones who pass the laws and enforce the laws that benefit their benefactors.”
Assata Shakur, Assata: An Autobiography

Nikesha Elise Williams
“Whiteness, she believed, was not only color, because some people had olive undertones, like the swarthy Greeks and Italians she’d seen working for Logan’s family in Birmingham. It wasn’t just class, because admittedly some of them were poorer than the colored folk on the side of the tracks. It was more affectation and flair. An attitude of ownership. That you were owed shit. The world. The day. The night. The people. The bodies. The labor. And, of course, the money. If you could have the audacity to believe yourself appointed above all, delude yourself into believing that you were victim, yet posed as the victor while still demanding more tokens and tributes to affirm and establish the position you created for yourself, were you not white? After all she’d done, was she not white?”
Nikesha Elise Williams, The Seven Daughters of Dupree
