“‘It is an ethical impossibility to tell the story of Black liberation struggles without talking about Black LGBTQ participation, involvement and leadership.’” — The Washington Post ([link removed])

“‘Because teachers are often pressured to “teach to the test,” fruitful discussions about Black political, cultural, and economic autonomy, the potential of radical democratic participation, and the destruction of Reconstruction is lost.’” — Facing South ([link removed])
