Quote by Bethanee Epifani J. Bryant

“America has never been a moral authority. America is a moral contradiction. It is a mirage of unity and freedom that disappears as soon as I reach out to touch it. As white America crumbles underneath the weight of it's hypocrisy, delusions of grandeur, and historical cruelty, Black America must be a resource and a beacon of light unto itself. Leave them in the shadows. We will carry the light and ensure our own survival and success.”

“What are photons? They are dimensionless, unitless, massless, pure numbers! Every photon has a specific frequency – which is its number. So, the light of the sun is in fact the light of numbers, the light of mathematics ... the light of reason. Mathematics is not an unreal abstraction, as sensory science says. It is reality in itself, stripped of all sensory interpretations and perceptions. “Light” is just another word for reality in itself, for pure math! Have you seen the light yet?”

“Beyond My Feelings Now I can see clearly As the light shines brightly Beyond the wearied cloudy night And the awesome fright. Intensely the light shone And God's vision visibly shown. But my feelings, so confusing Set my feeble mind doubting And my eyes too heavy to see The shining Light from across the sea. Beyond my feelings now I see As steadfastly to God's word I look. Then, I see the Light from access the sea And left my faith off the hook.”

“There is nothing convenient about freedom. It is born from battle cries and war, and blood, and death and people living for it and dying for it without ever getting it. Never let anyone tell you that it was easy for you to have the fire, the storms, the oceans of strength to speak your mind that you have today.”

“This light represents the finest of all of us: Our art, poetry and songs, discoveries, creations, and science. Our ability to pick ourselves up from a broken, mad, fractured life and feel part of another, and be part of whatever this universe is. To have a little bit of hope in spite of the madly ruthless, even horrific, drumbeat of history. In the midst of ruin, to discover some sort of unimaginable grace. To hide from death for yet one more day. On this, the darkest day, people will light a candle for all of that.”
