"Our ancestors unearthed themselves on Wall Street and told us who they were."
On whites taking children to view lychings:
"What happens when you do such things is you lose your humanity…. Do you see? The dehumanization works both ways."
"After a while if you tell me enough times that I’m not human then I begin to believe it."
"You’re not the descendant of slaves. You’re the descendant of captured free people."
Respect means ‘to look again’.
