“Manuel showed her his open hand: Look at this finger, how meager it seems, and this one even weaker, and this other one no stronger, and this one all by himself and on his own.
Then he made a fist: But now, is it strong enough, big enough, solid enough? It seems so doesnt it?”
—Jacques Roumain (19071945)
“... the black girls didnt get these pills because their black ministers were up on the pulpit saying that birth control pills were black genocide. What Im saying is that black men have exploited black women.... They didnt want them to have any choice about their reproductive health. And if you cant control your reproduction, you cant control your life.”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
