“The function of freedom is to free someone else.” - Toni Morrison

“Nobody is free until everybody is free.” - Fannie Lou Hamer

These two powerful quotes from two giants of our time, one literary and the other from the Civil Rights Movement capture something that I believe at the very core of who I am. It’s the essence of responsibility.

@Denny I thought you would approve.

@amerpie Great counterpoint to the hyperindividualism of the culture.

@annahavron If there was ever an American who embodied the opposite of hyperindividualism, it was Fannie Lou Hamer. Definitely one of my heroes.

@amerpie I think people who have been traditionally thwarted from the enjoyment of freedom have the most clear-eyed view of its value.

@amerpie Yes, this is what I believe in.
