About the Book

Find wisdom, inspiration, and new insight in this definitive volume of empowering quotes from Black Americans.

With 250 quotations--carefully researched by National Black Cultural Information Trust founder, Jessica Ann Mitchell Aiwuyor--Black Voices is your go-to source for powerful words from both famous Black Americans in history and new and lesser-known voices. From this diverse spectrum of perspectives and experiences, gain a deeper understanding of Black American culture and history.

Some of the inspirational quotes include:

"This work is not ourselves. Kill that spirit of 'self' and do not live above your people. If you can rise, bring some with you. Circulate your work and distribute as much information as possible, because this is not your Council, but the Council of African women from here to Egypt. Do away with fearful jealousy, kill that spirit and love one another as brothers and sisters. Stand by your motto: Do unto others as ye would that they should unto you." - Charlotte Maxeke

"The black intellectual, the black academic, must attach himself to the activity of the black masses." - Walter Rodney

"I Don't Pay Those Borders No Mind At All." - Audley Moore

Spotlighting Black Americans from all eras and backgrounds, each quote is accompanied by an explanation of its context. This engaging and information-packed book touches on the many aspects of Black American lives, including:

  • Childhood and Family
  • Work and Education
  • Activism
  • Power
  • Adversity
  • Leadership
  • Friendship and Community
  • Art and Creativity
  • Self-Confidence and Joy
  • Faith and Spirituality
Black Voices is a must-have reference to Black American culture and history.
