The Preface and Editor's Note to I Dream a World. 

The reading this week is perfectly imperfect. It's been a week, ya'll. I'm owning it... for now. #perfectionist #type4 #infp (lol)

Favorite quotes: 

"My greatest lesson was that this is my history, this is American history. "

"... when the flowing box in our living room disrupted all that I'd been taught, I was shocked. Black people were being attacked by dogs, clubs, and fire hoses. I was bewildered. My mother had instilled in us the belief that everyone was equal in the eyes of God. Didn't God tell everyone?"

"This celebration of sisters is not an attempt to elevate or lower any segment of society, it is merely an opportunity to savor the triumphs of the human spirit..."

"My job-- the privilege and pain of it-- was to capture a life on a page of words."

"Looking at these women, love is not hard to find."
