Quotes From African American Leaders
“It’s important for us to also understand that the phrase '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." —Barack Obama
“I swear to the Lord I still can’t see why democracy means everybody but me.” —Langston Hughes
“Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better.” —Martin Luther King, Jr.
“I felt that one had better die fighting against injustice than to die like a dog or rat in a trap. I had already determined to sell my life as early as possible if attacked. I felt if I could take one lyncher with me, this would even up the score a little bit.” —Ida B. Wells
“I’m not quite sure what freedom is, but I know darn well what it ain’t. How have we gotten so silly; I wonder.” —Assata Shakur
“I knew then, and I know now, when it comes to justice, there is no easy way to get it.” —Claudette Colvin
"During Black History Month, I’m reminded yet again of the ways that the struggle for civil rights is interwoven with the struggle for workers’ rights.” —Tom Perez
“Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise. I rise. I rise." —Maya Angelou
“Diversity is not about how we differ. Diversity is about embracing one another’s uniqueness.” —Ola Joseph
“Character is power.” —Booker T. Washington
