February quotes for Black History Month
Last year I commemorated the history months with articles, but I got off to a disorganized start and so I did not immediately start blogging them.
Saying I am more organized this year sounds like a stretch, but I decided to use quotes this year instead. Another woman I follow on Twitter is doing prompts, where there is a person for you to look up, rather than just giving you the information. Will i

I really enjoyed this. There are practical exercises and software information and which orchestra instruments are transposing or not, but also there are really interesting things that might fit more under music history, like keys versus the ancient Gr ...more |

Really beautiful writing and I love Espinosa's art. I think the humor about Nelson, a loud kid in the class, detract rather than add, which is why it is not 5 stars, but it is still excellent. ...more |

| Really interesting information on how early interests and perseverance led to an important career. | |

| There is good artwork, but in attempting to cover Posada's life and career, explain different printing techniques, and analyze the different calaveras, the focus wanders a lot. ...more | |

| Interesting interviews setting the art in context, but the reproductions are a little out of focus. Oil paintings often need to be viewed from a distance. Pinkney worked in watercolor but I still needed to keep holding back the book. Still very inter ...more | |

| Practical and exhaustive. I think the last chapter breaking down career options can be especially useful. | |

Various respected children's book artists comment on human rights with an accompanying picture. This is really not designed for the children. I guess it's nice for the artists to get to do something more adult, but often their views are not particular ...more |

Planting Stories: The Life of Librarian and Storyteller Pura Belpré
by Anika Aldamuy Denise (Goodreads Author) |

| Beautiful pictures. The storytelling is both a bit wordy and abrupt, but it does give some more information about Pura Belpre, and is more focused on her than The Storyteller's Candle. ...more | |
“Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself to become a new person.”

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

“Look you wanna know the truth? I don’t really care about the
stats or the cup or the trophy or anything like that. In fact even the games aren’t that important to me. What matters to me is the perfect throw, making the perfect catch, the perfect step and block. Perfection. That's what it's about. It's those moments. When you can feel the perfection of creation. The beauty the physics you know the wonder of mathematics. The elations of action and reaction and that is the kind of perfection that I want to be connected to.”

“In an era when metaphysical and existential certainties are in a state of crisis, when people are being uprooted and alienated and are losing their sense of what this world means, this ideology inevitably has a certain hypnotic charm. To wandering humankind it offers an immediately available home: all one has to do is accept it, and suddenly everything becomes clear once more, life takes on new meaning, and all mysteries, unanswered questions, anxiety, and loneliness vanish. Of course, one pays dearly for this low-rent home: the price is abdication of one’ s own reason, conscience, and responsibility, for an essential aspect of this ideology is the consignment of reason and conscience to a higher authority. The principle involved here is that the center of power is identical with the center of truth.”

“If the main pillar of the system is living a lie, then it is not surprising that the fundamental threat to it is living the truth. This is why it must be suppressed more severely than anything else.”
