“The “reform” movement is really a “corporate reform” movement, funded to a large degree by the major foundations, Wall Street hedge managers, entrepreneurs, and the U.S. Department of Education.”
Bettina L. Love, Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal

Cristina Rivera Garza
“Vivir en duelo es esto: nunca estar sola. Invisible pero patente de muchas formas, la presencia de los muertos nos acompaña en los minúsculos intersticios de los días. Por sobre el hombro, a un lado de la voz, en el eco de cada paso. Arriba de las ventanas, en el filo del horizonte, entre las sombras de los árboles. Siempre están allá y siempre están aquí, con y adentro de nosotros, y afuera, envolviéndonos con su calidez, protegiéndonos de la intemperie. Éste es el trabajo del duelo: reconocer su presencia, decirle que sí a su presencia. Siempre hay otros ojos viendo lo que veo e imaginar ese otro ángulo, imaginar lo que unos sentidos que no son los míos podrían apreciar a través de mis sentidos es, bien mirado, una definición puntual del amor. El duelo es el fin de la soledad.”
Cristina Rivera Garza, El invencible verano de Liliana

“Abolitionists like myself want all human beings to have everything they need to feel whole, supported, cared for, and to live in communities that hold people accountable for harm without creating more harm or violence.”
Bettina L. Love, Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal

Cristina Rivera Garza
“Liliana spoke here, as she had ever since she was a child, of a love that was utterly free. Not the selfish love that tied couples together, but a love so grand, so absolute, that bowed down to no one, to nothing at all.”
Cristina Rivera Garza, Liliana's Invincible Summer: A Sister's Search for Justice
