3 quotes from Between the World and Me

  • "I am not ashamed of my grandparents' struggle. I am not ashamed of my father and his brothers' struggle. I am not ashamed of my mother and her sisters' struggle. I am not ashamed of black people struggling to build a life. I am not ashamed of my own struggle. I am proud. I have become proud. I am black, and I am proud of it."
  • "In America, it is traditional to destroy the black body—it is heritage."
  • "To be black in America is to be judged by the color of your skin and by the assumptions that come with it, and to struggle against that judgment every single day."
