"Black is beautiful" rang out in the sixties, "I am somebody" echoed in the seventies, and "Black lives matter" resonates in our day. More than slogans or hashtags, these are verbal efforts to stave off the terror of dead Black bodies. Please remember that, white brothers and sisters, the next time one of your friends argues that "all lives matter."
-- Michael Eric Dyson, Long Time Coming, p. 44
