"Marie felt a sudden urge to smash the glass, break down the door, pull down the building. She wanted to tear apart the world. Mather would have never treated a white student that badly, nor would he have shut the door in the face of a man. At that moment, she wanted Dr. Mather to disappear. She wanted every white man to disappear. She wanted to burn them all down to ash and feast on their smoke. Hateful, powerful thoughts. She wondered what those hateful, powerful thoughts could create."

"My father was both the person who gave me reason to learn how to fight and the one who taught me the basics of fighting. He would tell me that if it was a big fight, it would probably be uneven, it wouldn't be fair."
Family
"CORE was committed to nonviolence, but I was not."
Violence
"My father was very intense, passionate and over-the-top. He was my hero and my tyrant."

"We do not deride the fears of prospering white America. A nation of violence and private property has every reason to dread the violated and the deprived."
Injustice

Family
