“I think what's so powerful about Black Lives Matter is we're the first...” — Patrisse Cullors Quote

“I think what's so powerful about Black Lives Matter is we're the first movement able to take on law enforcement and make it a popular discussion.”

“Before BLM, there was a dormancy in our black freedom movement. Obviously many of us were doing work, but we've been able to reignite a whole entire new generation, not just inside the U.S. but across the globe, centering black people and centering the fight against white supremacy.”

“I don't like how cruel humans can be.”

“I'm fed up with the top-down style of politics, where discussion in our party is stifled because of sectarianism and tribalism.”

“For so long - literally for decades - so much of our national view point has actually been coloured by a discussion about the European Union.”

“As you know from reading many of these Negro writers, we don't deal too much with the discussion of democracy and what it means and how improvisation fits in all that.”
