I don’t think they really do. Black people need to stop dwelling in the past and look to the future. We all should care about each other. - D. Lewis, Homemaker, Dorchester.

Because they think we’re threatening. Black folks are starting to get ahead. They’d like to see us stay behind. They don’t like that we’re just as good as they are. - Marie Norman, PCA, Roxbury.

Because they look at us on the outside. They don’t see what’s inside us. They can’t see what’s inside us. They can’t see whether you have a kind heart. That’s the main ingredient of racism. - Otis Goodman, Food Service Worker, Grove Hall.

I think a lot of it has to do with Trump being in office. He’s bringing out the worst in people and now they’re more bold. - Rashele Dudley, Paralegal, Roxbury.
