Quotes From Black Leaders to Carry You Through the Protests

June 6, 2020 By Cade Hildreth Leave a Comment

The course of history has been changed by black leaders who stepped up to the platform and improved the lives of their fellow citizens. In 1962, there were over 250,000 marchers present when Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech.

There are countless black leaders who have served as powerful figures in civil rights movements throughout history. While the ten featured here represent only a few, they unquestionably deserve recognition.

Inspiring Quotes from Black Leaders

While we hear their words frequently during Black History Month, these quotes by black leaders should be repeated and remembered every single day.

1. “In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.”

Thurgood Marshall (1908-1993) was an attorney during the civil rights movement. He won 29 out of the 32 cases he argued before the Supreme Court, more than any other person. Thurgood Marshall became the first African-American member of the United States Supreme Court, serving for 24 years from October 1967 to October 1991.

2. “The cost of liberty is less than the price of repression.”

W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963) co-founded the NAACP in 1909. He earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1895, the first African American to do so. During the first half of the 20th century W.E.B. Du Bois was the best-known spokesperson for African American rights.

3. “Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.”

Coretta Scott King (1927-2006) was the wife of Martin Luther King Jr.  In the 1960’s she was one of the leaders of the civil rights movement. She advocated for African-American equality and as a singer incorporated her music into her civil rights movement.

4. “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.”

Frederick Douglas (1817-1895) escaped from slavery in Maryland.  Following his escape, he became a national leader during the abolitionist movement in the states of New York and Massachusetts. Frederick became known as a great orator and published an autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave in 1845. Several other books followed.

5. “You don’t make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas.”

Shirley Chisholm (1924-2005) in 1968 was elected to the United States Congress. She was the first woman to achieve this position and served for seven terms between 1969 to 1983, representing the 12th congressional district of New York. Striving for higher achievements, in 1972 she was the first African American and the first woman to seek the presidential nomination.

6. “You are no better than anyone else, and no one is better than you.”

Katherine Johnson (1918-2020) was one of three black students handpicked to integrate West Virginia’s graduate schools. A very strong math student, at age 13 she was attending high school at West Virginia State College.

Katherine enrolled in that same college at the age of 18 and became the third African American to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics. She graduated in 1937 with the highest honors. Katherine became a mathematician in high demand, with her work including the math needed for the 1957 launch of the Soviet Sputnik satellite.

She also did trajectory analysis for Alan Shepard’s May 1961 mission Freedom 7 and worked on orbital equations for the 1962 mission of John Glenn.  She was 97 years old in 2015 when awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama, America’s highest civilian honor.

7. “Won’t it be wonderful when Black History and Native American history and Jewish history and all of U.S. history is taught from one book. Just U.S. history.”

Maya Angelou (1928-2014) was an inspirational writer who believed in civil rights. The Maya Angelou Newsletter: March 2020 speaks to what Black Americans have lived through. Written by Maya Angelou’s son, it talks of racism and sexism being practiced and accepted in the 1950s.

The newsletter refers to members of his Maya’s family who carried guns and had altercations with police. You will learn how Maya was considered a troublemaker for believing that justice was important and should be fought for. Maya even went so far as to call herself Black at a time when everyone else used the term Colored.

8. “If the only time you think of me as a scientist is during Black History Month, then I must not be doing my job as a scientist.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson (born 1958) became the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium located in the Rose Center for Each and Space located in New York City. He is an American planetary scientist, science communicator, author, cosmologist, and astrophysicist.

9. “We cannot ‘fix’ the police without a revolution of values and radical change to the basic structure of our society.”

Michelle Alexander (born 1967) is a law professor at Ohio State University and author of “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness.” This book addresses the reality of racial discrimination in the criminal justice system. Michelle believes that the 20th Century racial oppression has been replaced with a justice system that puts a disproportionate amount of black men into prison.

10. “The time is always right to do what is right.”

Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) was assassinated on April 4, 1968. He was an activist and American Christian minister who became known for his “I Have a Dream” speech.  He was a very well educated man with hopes for the betterment of Black Americans.

At only 35 years old Martin Luther King Jr. became the youngest man to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. He turned over his $54,123 in prize money to further the civil rights movement.

⚠️ One of the most important TRUTHS I’ve eve ⚠️ One of the most important TRUTHS I’ve ever learned was this:When you give yourself permission to be yourself, you give other people permission to be themselves.If someone is upset by you being fully yourself — whether that is gay or straight or gender expansive or in a relationship with someone your family disapproves of or anything else — it is sad for them, because what they are saying to you is, “I don’t believe I have permission to do what you are capable of doing.”When you realize this, the only reaction you can have toward them is compassion.Share a “💯” below if you’ve experienced this (or needed this reminder today)...👇🏽

⚠️ UPDATE: Arkansas' Republican governor on Mo ⚠️ UPDATE: Arkansas' Republican governor on Monday vetoed an anti-transgender health care bill that would've prohibited physicians in the state from providing gender-affirming "procedures" for trans people under age 18.Gov. Asa Hutchinson told reporters that he killed HB 1570 because the bill "would be and is a vast government overreach" and because it would've created "new standards of legislative interference with physicians and parents as they deal with some of the most complex and sensitive matters involving young people."Had the governor approved it, Arkansas would've been the first state in the nation to outlaw gender-affirming health care for trans youth, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.The governor also predicted during his remarks that the state's Republican-controlled General Assembly "will likely override" his veto, noting it takes only a simple majority to do so.Leave a “👏🏽” to show support for Governor Hutchinson or share your thoughts below. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Source: CNN

✅ #WorkoutTip: If you’re looking to get a more ✅ #WorkoutTip: If you’re looking to get a more developed and defined chest, a quick bar change from traditional barbell to Swiss Bar can help you hit new muscle fibers and supercharge your gains! 🔥💪🏽Why is this? 🤔1) As you can see, it switches your grip from horizontal (your grip on a straight barbell) to parallel. This rotates your entire arm, including the position of your elbow, shoulder, and all of the attached muscle groups.2) It lets you choose from a wide variety of widths. In this example, I choose the second from the middle grip, but you can work from extremely narrow to really wide.3) The balance/loading of the Swiss Bar feels extremely different than a straight barbell, so your accessory muscles get recruited to work extra hard throughout the path of the lift.Of course, if you add a pause at the bottom of the lift as the Swiss bar touches your chest, it can also increase the difficulty of the lift and introduce a new stimulus.Have you tried a Swiss Bar before? Let me know below... 👇🏽

Looking to add lean muscle mass while dropping bod Looking to add lean muscle mass while dropping body fat? 💪🏽🔥If so, you’re simply not going to beat the BIG compound lifts like the deadlift. 🔥🔥But, since the traditional deadlift puts a fair amount of strain on your lower and middle back, what should you do if you’re training multiple times per week? 🤔The answer? 👀1. Mix Up the Stimulus — The Hex Deadlift shown here is one of my favorite options, because it allows a more upright torso. This both lets you lift more weight and displaces some of the load across your hips and lower body.However, if you can’t access a Hex Deadlift bar at your gym, then you can use a normal barbell to do a...... Sumo Deadlift (wider stance)
... Deficit Deadlift (deeper range of motion)
... Or other variation of your choosing2. Vary Your Rep Range - In this video, I demo a higher rep range of 20 reps. In general, higher reps are associated with greater hypertrophy (muscle size growth).Higher reps will humble you because you’ll have to use less weight, but the muscle gains you experience will make it worth it!3. Amp Up Recovery - The two most powerful recovery tools you have at your disposal are food and sleep. So, how to best use them to your advantage?Consume whey protein and rapidly digestible carbs immediately post workout—and if you went heavy in your workout, then add a casein protein shake before bed too.Then, eat a full meal within approximately an hour of finishing your workout. Focus on consuming protein and carbs, while going lighter on fat.For sleep, nighttime is your anabolic period (i.e., when natural muscle recovery and growth occurs).So, get to bed either at or before your usual bedtime, keep the room ultra dark, and keep it cold enough that you need to be under the covers or you’ll end up shivering.I wear an @ouraring sleep ring and can confirm from personal experience that timing, temp, and darkness all have a huge effect on your sleep quality!Which tip are you going to try first? Let me know below... 👇🏽

To all my trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive s To all my trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive siblings:💙 You are valid.
🤍 You are worthy.
💗 You are loved.Thank you for becoming who you were born to be, because you inspires others to be their true selves too.Always remember: Courage is contagious.Happy #TransDayOfVisibility—
From @qchristianorg:Being visible is important for the movement. For the individual, being visible can mean being one of the 20% of trans people who experience homelessness or the 25% who have been fired because of their gender identity.It could make you one of the 44 trans people who were killed last year for being trans.Being visible means risking rejection and abandonment, facing erasure in the name of religious freedom, being ridiculed, mocked, bullied and misgendered intentionally.It can mean being one of the 41% who, because of all this, attempt to end their lives.
