"Campbell O’Hare anchors the cast with a performance by turns caustically funny and ultimately shattering...she inhabits her brittle and broken character with breathtaking fearlessness."

In Conversation

"This is brutality and viciousness at a level that, when white folks and allies say that they’re allies, and 'What can we do?' and you think you’re being helpful, or 'What should I do now?' and you think you’re being helpful, there is such a brutality to your words that, many times, I can’t fool with white folks. I can’t be around you. I need you to leave me alone. I need you to not ask me what my opinion is of a Black man getting murdered with no regard. And so, for me, this idea about allyship really does fall into the place of whether or not white people have the capacity to stop what I call declarations of independence, declarations of 'I’m not racist,' declarations of 'I’m an ally,' declarations that 'I’m a good, individual white person,' and they’re gonna have to start really beginning to figure out how they build culture around abolishing white supremacy."
-Resmaa Menakem

"And let me just be really clear: As a result of being raised in this society as a white person, I’m racist. I have a racist worldview. There’s no way I don’t have a racist worldview, because it’s embedded in everything. And that means I have racist assumptions and behaviors and investments. And it’s liberating to start from that premise and then just get to work, trying to figure out how it’s manifesting and interrupt that, rather than the insistence that we could be untouched by the water we’re swimming in."
-Robin DiAngelo

"What I found as I moved around among the small groups that began to gather together to help each other was that, in group after group, people were singing Kum Bah Ya...
'Come by here, my Lord,
somebody’s missing, Lord, come by here.
We all need you, Lord, come by here.'
I could never laugh at 'Kum Bah Ya' moments after that because I saw then that almost no one went home from there. They were going to continue on the path that they had committed themselves to."
-Vincent Harding on the Mississippi Summer Project of 1964

"...for the crime of loitering, the idea of it, is about ownership of one’s own time, which must be, sometimes, wrested from the assumed owners of it, who are not you, back to the rightful, who is."
