Ta-Nehisi Coates
“Every Trump voter is certainly not a white supremacist, just as every white person in the Jim Crow South was not a white supremacist. But every Trump voter felt it was acceptable to hand the fate of the country over to one.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy

“On their own, the leader of a church's special needs ministry can't meet every need of every volunteer or participating family. But that leader can model service in a way that caring becomes contagious.”
Amy Fenton Lee, Leading a Special Needs Ministry

Howard Thurman
“A man is a man, no more, no less. The awareness of this fact marks the supreme moment of human dignity.”
Howard Thurman, Jesus and the Disinherited

“When politicians fail to address the issues that matter, when news companies cut back on investigative reporting, when media barrage the public with fearsome and unintelligible images of catastrophe, making their audiences feel helpless and hopeless, nonprofits can provide the evidence and testimony that drive public engagement and promote solutions to social problems.”
Kathy Bonk, Strategic Communications for Nonprofits: A Step-by-Step Guide to Working with the Media

Tomi Adeyemi
“Children of Blood and Bone was written during a time where I kept turning on the news and seeing stories of unarmed black men, women, and children being shot by the police. I felt afraid and angry and helpless, but this book was the one thing that made me feel like I could do something about it. I told myself that if just one person could read it and have their hearts or minds changed, then I would've done something meaningful against a problem that often feels so much bigger than myself.”
Tomi Adeyemi, Children of Blood and Bone
