Freedom is indivisible, and either we are working for freedom or you are working for the sake of your self-interests and I am working for mine.

I think I have come to a place where I'm able to feel more comfortable about being honest.

To tell the truth is to become beautiful.

But, based on my friendship with Evie as young mothers, I started going on freedom rides in 1966.

Like running trying to live a good life has to hurt a little bit, or we're not running hard enough, not really trying.

If we even tolerate any oppression of gay and lesbian Americans, if we join those who would intrude upon the choices of our hearts, then who among us shall be free?

Like a lot of Black women, I have always had to invent the power my freedom requires.
