Quotes:

“The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class-it is the cause of human kind, the very birthright of humanity.” - Anna Julia Cooper

“If there is anyone who should be sitting up there with lobster steak in a grocery cart, it should be the descendants of enslaved people who have never received reparations for building this place for free.”

“I can no longer afford to collude with whiteness and supremacy culture. Because everyone loses in it. “

“That is a product of white supremacy that we don't trust our bargaining power, and that's what white supremacy has enforced us to believe.”
