Quote to Ponder

 

 
 

“In some ways, the black woman is the most emotionally free adult in American society: freer to show love than many men, particularly black men; freer to show anger, even ferocity, than middle-class white women; freer to tell the blunt truth than just about any adult in polite society. She really is like the queen on the chessboard, able to move in any direction, depending on the game.”

- Sheri Parks

The quote is from her book: Fierce Angels: The Strong Black Woman in American Life and Culture . Click here for more about Ms. Parks.
