Eddie S. Glaude Jr.
“Correction of past wrongdoings, like ending slavery and dismantling legal segregation, confirmed the rightness of our ideals. Nothing fundamental about those ideals needed to change. We simply had to be better people. I want no part of that story. It blinds us to how the value gap has been so fundamental to who we are as a nation. Over and over again, we have confronted the overriding belief, held by our government and exhibited in our daily lives, in white supremacy. The story blinds most white Americans to the harsh reality of this country.”
Eddie S. Glaude Jr., Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul

“Chivalry: It's the little boy that kisses my hand, the young man who holds the door open for me, and the old man who tips his hat to me. None of it is a reflection of me, but a reflection of them.”
Donna Lynn Hope

Alessandra Torre
“A gentleman holds my hand.
A man pulls my hair.
A soulmate will do both.”
Alessandra Torre

Eddie S. Glaude Jr.
“James Baldwin’s words haunt: “People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state of innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster.” Are we a nation of monsters?”
Eddie S. Glaude Jr., Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul

Toni Morrison
“If you can only be tall because someone else is on their knees, then you have serious problem. And white people have a very, very serious problem.”
Toni Morrison
