—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“And shall I prime my children, pray, to pray?”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“... the black girls didn’t get these pills because their black ministers were up on the pulpit saying that birth control pills were black genocide.

And if you can’t control your reproduction, you can’t control your life.”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
