The quotes are: Rosa Parks To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try. James Baldwin Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. Martin Luther King Jr. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Barack Obama I see what's possible when we recognize that we are one American family, all deserving of equal treatment. Audre Lorde It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences. Cornel West None of us alone can save the nation or the world. But each of us can make a positive difference if we commit ourselves to do so. Robert F. Kennedy Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eye and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up and speak out, we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice. Barack Obama ...'Black Lives Matter' simply refers to the notion that there's a specific vulnerability for African Americans that needs to be addressed. It's not meant to suggest that other lives don't matter. It's to suggest that other folks aren't experiencing this particular vulnerability. Robin DiAngelo Racism is a white problem. It was constructed and created by white people and the ultimate responsibility lies with white people. For too long we've looked at it as if it were someone else's problem, as if it was created in a vacuum. Marian Anderson None of us is responsible for the complexion of his skin. This fact of nature offers no clue to the character or quality of the person underneath. Michelle Obama Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can't just be on people of color to deal with it. It's up to all of us — Black, white, everyone — no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. Nelson Mandela No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. Bill Clinton For too long politicians told most of us that what's wrong with America is the rest of us. Them. Them the minorities. Them the liberals. Them, them, them. But there is no them; there's only us. One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty, and justice, for all. Ijeoma Oluo The beauty of anti-racism is that you don't have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And it's the only way forward
