Ibram X. Kendi
“The integrationist transformation of King as color-blind and race-neutral erases the actual King. He did not live to integrate Black spaces and people into White oblivion. If he did, then why did he build low-income Atlanta apartments “using Negro workmen, Negro architects, Negro attorneys, and Negro financial institutions throughout,” as he proudly reported in 1967? Why did he urge Black people to stop being “ashamed of being Black,” to invest in their own spaces? The child of a Black neighborhood, church, college, and organization lived to ensure equal access to public accommodations and equal resources for all racialized spaces, an antiracist strategy as culture-saving as his nonviolence was body-saving.”
Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist

Hans Bemmann
“I tell you what, sometimes you get so obstinate you have to be gently forced to see where your happiness lies.”
Hans Bemmann, The Stone and the Flute

Alexandre Dumas
“Come, come. Enough of poison. Now that my heart is full of it, let us go and find the antidote.”
Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

Ibram X. Kendi
“Estimated losses from white-collar crimes are believed to be between $300 and $600 billion per year, according to the FBI. By comparison, near the height of violent crime in 1995, the FBI reported the combined costs of burglary and robbery to be $4 billion.”
Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist

Siva Vaidhyanathan
“Even when we post and share demonstrably false stories and claims we do so to declare our affiliation, to assert that our social bonds mean more to us than the question of truth. This fact should give us pause. How can we train billions of people to value truth over their cultural membership when the question of truth holds little at stake for them and the question of social membership holds so much?”
Siva Vaidhyanathan, Antisocial Media: How Facebook Disconnects Us and Undermines Democracy
