If you’re not angry, you’re either a stone, or you’re too sick to be angry. You should be angry. You must not be bitter. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. It doesn’t do anything to the object of its displeasure. So use that anger, yes. You write it. You paint it. You dance it. You march it. You vote it. You do everything about it. You talk it. Never stop talking it. - Maya Angelou (in conversation with Dave Chappelle, 2006) #blacklivesmatter

So start reading what they're writing, listening to their videos, attending their talks and educating yourself." -Robin DiAngelo, #blacklivesmatter, #NPR
