So You Want to Talk About Race
2018, Hachette Book Group page 168 'Not once in the two-day conference did anybody question the academic achievements that had brought me there--we were all there because we were smart kids who had worked very hard. For two days I got to feel like the majority of my classmates had felt almost every day, like a complete human being.
I don' t know how to describe what those two days were like for me except to say that I hadn't known before then that there was so much air to breathe." |
