Thank you Professor Tracey for the Harriet Tubman quote. She is someone that I truly respect and admire. I read the Ann Petry book about her often and it never fails to inspire me. Everyone needs to know of this great woman because of they truly did and understand the obstacles and overcoming them will they understand that there are no excuses. No excuses for overcoming any obstacle and no excuse for not helping to make this world a better place and no excuses for not achieving.
Thanks Prof. Tracey.
After a week of being bone weary from battling against sexist attitudes and behavior, including ranting there on my blog about the disrespect shown Maya Angelou by a certain website, I want to believe that Ms. Tubman wasn't talking just about race slavery, but referring to the shackles around black women's minds also.
Professor Tracey, I love this quote. It is one of my favorites.
your quote came right on time. i have been having a discussion with a couple of friends about some issues with our society and that quote was perfect.

"Erykah Badu expresses support for Louis Farrakhan"
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Sporting a huge, billowing Afro and a T-shirt with an anti-Iraq war slogan, Erykah Badu said she identifies with Palestinian hip-hop and expressed support for Louis Farrakhan before a crowd of Israeli fans and journalists Thursday.
"I come from across the water bringing light and hope," the 36-year-old singer said. She is scheduled to perform in Tel Aviv on Saturday night.
Badu commissioned a poster for her visit. It features a large hamsa — a traditional Middle Eastern good-luck charm — that appears to be growing out of her hair. At the bottom, the words for peace in Hebrew and Arabic appear side by side.
The singer, who couldn't name any Israeli hip-hop artists, said she identified best with the Palestinians and their hip-hop scene, saying they are part of her "tribe" of hip-hop.
"They use (hip-hop) as a form of liberation, as a form of pre-resistance, as a form of therapy," she said.
