    So sick last night I
    Didn’t know my mind.
    I drunk some bad licker that
    Almost made me blind.
    —Langston Hughes (1902–1967)

    When a family is free of abuse and oppression, it can be the place where we share our deepest secrets and stand the most exposed, a place where we learn to feel distinct without being “better,” and sacrifice for others without losing ourselves.
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
