Toni Morrison
“There is really nothing more to say - except why. But since why is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in how.”
Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye

M.K. Asante
“Now I see why reading was illegal for black people during slavery. I discover that I think in words. The more words I know, the more things I can think about....Reading was illegal because if you limit someone's vocab, you limit their thoughts. They can't even think of freedom because they don't have the language to.”
M.K. Asante, Buck: A Memoir

Rita Dove
“I was pirouette and flourish,
I was filigree and flame.
How could I count my blessings
when I didn't know their names?”
Rita Dove, On the Bus With Rosa Parks
