Dear Young Black Males, Encourage yourself, believe in yourself, and love yourself. Never doubt who you are. Always believe in yourself, even if nobody else does. Strive to be self-motivated!”

"Once upon a time, in the antebellum United States, it was illegal for enslaved people to learn to read. For that transgression, they could be punished by death, maiming, or being sold away from their family. Yet enslaved people still endeavored by any means possible to become literate. And of course, after emancipation, freedpeople flooded into schools; in the late 19th century, a cadre of Black educators and scholars worked valiantly to write themselves into a history that had excluded them. 
The point is that struggling against those who would keep us from learning and from being studied—and by us, I mean Black people here, but also all marginalized people—is nothing new in this country’s history. The forces of exclusion are old and resilient. Then, as now, the only way to defeat them is to pursue that which has been prohibited. We read the banned books, we study the verboten topics, and we share them, still."
Imani Perry, "We Read the Banned Books," Unsettled Territory, The Atlantic, Feb 2023.
