“And then I thought about what was right there in the text. Ralph Ellison talking about invisibility. Not the wacky science-fiction kind, but the kind where people are looking at you but not seeing you, looking through you, or around you--like, why the hell shouldn't our classes be talking about what happened to Rashad? Was what happened to him invisible? Was he invisible?”
― Jason Reynolds, All American Boys

“A sign in the far corner showed a large rainbow flag flying on a black background. Below the flag, the sign said SUPPORT SAFE SPACES FOR GAY, LESBIAN, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER YOUTH. Reading the word 'transgender' sent a shiver down George's spine. She wondered where she could find a safe space like that, and if there would be other girls like her there.”
― Alex Gino, Melissa
