"The rich rob the poor and the poor rob one another" (Sojourner Truth). "But if by some miracle, and all our struggle, the Earth is spared, only justice to every living thing (and everything is alive) will save humankind" (Alice Walker). These are two of the many examples of McKnight's collected quotes, dated when possible, and organized into 20 categories, including blackness and black unity, masculine and feminine, love and hate, courage, character, conflict, respect, and freedom. Contributors include Toni Morrison, MLK, Eldridge Cleaver, Michele Wallace, Mahalia Jackson, B.B. King, Harriet Tubman, Malcolm X, James Baldwin, and the omnipresent anonymous, all indexed and briefly identified in the back of the book. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
