“We can no longer afford to take that which was good in the past and simply call it our heritage, to discard the bad and simply think of it as a dead load which by itself time will bury in oblivion” (Hannah Arendt, Preface to The Origins of Totalitarianism, 1950).

“To know the past is to know the present. To know the present is to know yourself” (Ibram X. Kendi, Preface to Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Jason Reynolds, 2020).
