But Some of Us Are Brave Quotes

“If its liberation is not human enough to include the liberation of women it will not be liberation”
― Akasha Gloria Hull, But Some of Us Are Brave: Black Women's Studies

“Coldly 'objective' scholarship that changes nothing is not what we strive for. 'Objectivity' is itself an example of the reification of white-male thought. What could be less objective than the totally white-male studies which are still considered 'knowledge'? Everything that human beings participate in is ultimately subjective and biased, and there is nothing inherently wrong with that. The bias of Black women's studies must consider as primary the knowledge that will save Black women's lives.”
― Gloria T. Hull, But Some of Us Are Brave: All the Women Are White, All the Blacks Are Men: Black Women's Studies

“We cannot change our lives by teaching solely about 'exceptions' to the ravages of white-male oppression.”
