Quotes by Catherine Hernandez (?)

“It’s like trying to sink a beach ball in the water. It pops up every now and then, whether we want it to or not.” “And when it pops up, we either pretend it’s not there or we ask oppressed people to help us keep it down, or we ask them to praise us for sinking it.”
― Catherine Hernandez, Crosshairs
