Audre Lorde
  • Black women sharing close ties with each other, politically or emotionally, are not the enemies of Black men.

  • In discussions around the hiring and firing of Black faculty at universities, the charge is frequently heard that Black women are more easily hired than are Black men.

  • When we create out of our experiences, as feminists of color, women of color, we have to develop those structures that will present and circulate our culture.

  • In our work and in our living, we must recognize that difference is a reason for celebration and growth, rather than a reason for destruction.
