Charity
isn't a good substitute for justice
“Pick
battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.”
“Let's
concede that we have decided to let our children grow up in two separate nations,
and lead two separate kinds of lives. If, on the other hand, we have the courage
to rise to this challenge to name what's happening within our inner-city schools,
then we also need the courage to be activist and go out and fight like hell to
change it.”
“I
write books to change the world. Perhaps I can only change one little piece of
that world. But if I can empower teachers and good citizens to give these children,
who are the poorest of the poor, the same opportunity we give our own kids, then
I'll feel my life has been worth it.”
