Paul Robeson
“The answer to injustice is not to silence the critic, but to end the injustice.”
Paul Robeson

Octavia E. Butler
“You are hierarchical. That's the older and more entrenched characteristic. We saw it in your closest animal relatives and in your most distant ones. It's a terrestrial characteristic. When human intelligence served it instead of guiding it, when human intelligence did not even acknowledge it as a problem, but took pride in it or did not notice it at all... That was like ignoring cancer.”
Octavia E. Butler

Alice Walker
“Writing permits me to be more than I am. Writing permits me to experience life as any number of strange creations.”
Alice Walker

Ilyasah Shabazz
“We are simply spirits in a shell. The body is merely a covering, a casement for the soul.”
Ilyasah Shabazz

Kimberla Lawson Roby
“Believe in God, believe in yourself, believe in whatever it is you are trying to accomplish…believe in that order.”
Kimberla Lawson Roby
