From the Moyers "NEWSLETTER - Friday, January 11, 2008
“Our blackness is our power, we think. I don't think it is. That's the delusion, I think. I think our power is the same as it is for anybody, any other group - the collective energies, imagination of the individuals within the group. We're no better than what our individuals achieve. The identity should be the result of effort and achievement. "- Shelby Steele
“We have a problem in politics in the United States.The problem is that we tend to talk with people who already agree with us.” - Kathleen Hall Jamieson
