“The function of freedom is to free someone else.” - Toni Morrison
“Nobody is free until everybody is free.” - Fannie Lou Hamer
These two powerful quotes from two giants of our time, one literary and the other from the Civil Rights Movement capture something that I believe at the very core of who I am. It’s the essence of responsibility.
Lou Plummer @annahavron If there was ever an American who embodied the opposite of hyperindividualism, it was Fannie Lou Hamer. Definitely one of my heroes.
Anna Havron I think people who have been traditionally thwarted from the enjoyment of freedom have the most clear-eyed view of its value.
