BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 4 OF 6 Friday, February 10, 2023

"When the slaves finished, they had stripped the fields of their color. It was a magnificent operation, from seed to bale, but not one of them could be prideful of their labor. It had been stolen from them. Bled from them." - Colson Whitehead, The Underground Railroad

BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 15 OF 15 Tuesday, February 28, 2023

"It's easy to blame the patriarchy, to rightfully point at the men who rape and hold them accountable. What's harder is to notice the women who sometimes passively direct rapists toward their victims by contributing to the hypersexualization of women of color under the guise of empowerment ... Feminist white women who think 'sexy Pocahontas' is an empowering look instead of lingering fetishization of the rape of a child. The same imagery they claim to find sexually empowering is rooted in the myth of white women's purity and every other woman's sexual availability." - Mikki Kendall, Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot

BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 5 OF 6 Friday, February 10, 2023

"Here is a new musical phenomenon. Not songs written for black musicians by white composers. Not humiliating parodies that grope for a laugh, joking at the black singers' expense. Black composers and lyricists, black musicians excellent in their own right. Not merely excellent, but daring and vibrant and wholly original." - Julie Berry, Lovely War

BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 3 OF 3 Wednesday, February 1, 2023

"The abolition of slavery, apart from preservation of the Union, was the most important result of our Civil War. But the transition was badly handled. Slaves were simply declared free and then left to their own devises. Southern Negroes, powerless, continued to be underprivileged in education, medical care, job opportunities and political status." - William Silverman

BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 1 OF 3 Wednesday, February 1, 2023

"When Pope Pius XII died, LIFE magazine carried a picture of him in his private study kneeling before a black Christ. What was the source of their information? All white people who have studied history and geography know that Christ was a black man. Only the poor, brainwashed American Negro has been made to believe that Christ was white, to maneuver him into worshiping the white man. After becoming a Muslim in prison, I read almost everything I could put my hands on in the prison library. I began to think back on everything I had read and especially with the histories, I realized that nearly all of them read by the general public have been made into white histories. I found out that the history-whitening process either had left out great things that black men had done, or some of the great black men had gotten whitened." - Malcolm X

BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 14 OF 15 Tuesday, February 28, 2023

"I do not believe guilt is inherited, but responsibility is, and there is nobody alive today whose existence has not been shaped by colonialist, racist forces. That is a legacy we all live with, and we should all deal with the consequences. If you have benefitted, then soaking yourself in remorse and guilt does not help anyone. What you can do, though, is ask constantly how you have felt those benefits. At whose expense were they gained?" - Alice Procter, The Whole Picture: The colonial story of the art in our museums & why we need to talk about it

BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 13 OF 15 Tuesday, February 28, 2023

"Herein lie the many things which if read with patience may show the strange meaning of being black here in the dawning of the Twentieth Century. This meaning is not without interest to you, Gentle Reader; for the problem of the Twentieth Century is the problem of the color-line." - W.E.B. Du Bois

BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 12 OF 12 Friday, February 24, 2023

"Racism will continue to thrive until we see ourselves as one. Black people stuck in Ukraine are being subjected to racism even as they attempt to flee to safety in Poland during a time of war, Black people are treated with complete and utter contempt. We should all be condemning this." - Olawale Daniel

BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 11 OF 12 Friday, February 24, 2023

"I am a free black man whose body is a testament to surviving unspeakable terror. I am a free black man, and although my memories are ancient, I am a map of new dreams; a cartography of a smooth-and-swift-with-the-scalpel imagination." - Diriye Osman, The Butterfly Jungle

BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 10 OF 12 Friday, February 24, 2023

"It was important to name this house, but not the way 'Sweet Home' or other plantations were named. There would be no adjectives suggesting coziness or grandeur or the laying claim to an instant, aristocratic past. Only numbers here to identify the house while simultaneously separating it from a street or city—marking its difference from the houses of other blacks in the neighborhood; allowing it a hint of the superiority, the pride, former slaves would take it having an address of their own. Yet a house that has, literally, a personality—which we call 'haunted' when that personality is blatant." - Toni Morrison, Beloved
