“Who gets to be free? Is someone free when they don't have to think about the way people look at them or treat them because of the color of their skin? Is someone free when they don't have to spend time on this earth with people who have hearts made of hate? Or is someone only really free when they're no longer a part of this world?” ― Jay Coles
