Quotes

  • "Gifted with second sight, we can share our stories ... build coalitions, develop a voice. ... We shall speak until all the people gain a voice." (1994)
  • "If we can't talk about race, then when we talk about crime, we're really talking about other things, and it means that we're not being honest in acknowledging what the problem is."
