No nation, savage or uncivilized save only the
United States of America has confessed its inability to protect its women saved by hanging, burning, or shooting alleged offenders.

SOUL FOOD

My father was a slave and my people died to build this country, and I'm going to stay right here and have a part of it, just like you. And no fascist-minded people like you will drive me from it. Is that clear?
Paul Robeson (1898-1976)testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee, June 12, 1956
"History is not a procession of illustrious people. It's about what happens to a people. Millions of anonymous people is what history is about."
James Baldwin

All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.

A little less complaint and whining, and a little more dogged work and manly striving, would do us more credit than a thousand civil rights bills.--W.E.B. Du Bois

SOUL FOOD

We, as individuals, are fast losing our reputation for honest dealing. Our nation is losing its character. The loss of a firm national character, or the degredation of a nation's honour, is the inevitable prelude to her destruction.
--William Wells Brown, 1849

SOUL FOOD

I have observed this in my experience of slavery, that whenever my condition was improved, instead of increasing my contentment; it only increased my desire to be free, and set me thinking of plans to gain my freedom. I have found that to make a contented slave, it is necessary to make a thoughtless one.
--Frederick Douglas

Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston

SOUL FOOD


I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. . . . Even in the helter-skelter skirmish that is my life, I have seen that the world is to the strong regardless of a little pigmentation more or less. No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.
Zora Neale Hurston (1901?-1960) "How It Feels to Be Colored Me" (1928)

SOUL FOOD

Freedom and justice cannot be parceled out in pieces to suit political convenience. I don't believe you can stand for freedom for one group of people and deny it to others.
--Coretta Scott King
