Chicana Without Apology, Eden Torres

 

“We have the right to be angry no matter how long ago the original trauma occurred or how different things were then, no matter how much progress has taken place, no matter how ignorant or well-intentioned our oppressors have been, no matter what change is promised in the future.  Our fury is justified anytime we are ignored, silenced, negatively stereotyped, incorrectly labeled, or otherwise not respected.  Any occasion in which our history is omitted or lied about deserves our indignant dismissal.  Until equality and justice become reality, we have a right to be angry.”

Chicana Without Apology, Eden Torres
