First Lady Michelle Obama said, "All of us are
driven by a simple belief that the world as it is
just won't do - that we have an obligation to
fight for the world as it should be."

[Editor's Favorite] Sojourner Truth
An abolitionist and women's rights activist
"That . . . man . . . says women can't have as much rights as
man, cause Christ wasn't a woman. Where did your Christ
come from? . . . From God and a woman. Man had nothing
to do with him."
Marian Anderson
An American singer famous for her contralto voice
"As long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to
be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar
as you otherwise might."
Barbara Jordan
State Senator and US Congresswoman
"Just remember the world is not a playground but a
schoolroom. Life is not a holiday but an education. One
eternal lesson for us all: to teach us how better we should
love."
Leontyne Price
An operatic soprano known for the title role of Verdi's Aida
"I am here and you will know that I am the best and will hear
me. The color of my skin or the kink of my hair or the spread
of my mouth has nothing to do with what you are listening
to."
Maya Angelou
Poet, Best-Selling Author, historian, civil rights activist
"You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be
defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the
defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise
from, how you can still come out of it."

history to motivate and inspire you live your best!
history to motivate and inspire you live your best!
By EEW Editors
Lady O's quote captures the core belief of history's
greatest influencers and change agents. They understood
the fundamental principle that says, Change begins with
you.
So, in honor of Black History Month 2010, EEW
Magazine has compiled some of the best quotes from
African American women, both living and deceased, to
inspire you to live your best and make an impact in the
world.
Marian Wright Edelman
President of the Children's Defense Fund (CDF)
"The outside world told black kids when I was growing
up that we weren't worth anything. But our parents said
it wasn't so, and our churches and our schoolteachers
said it wasn't so. They believed in us, and we, therefore,
believed in ourselves."
Ruby Dee
Oscar-winning actress, poet, playwright, activist
"You just try to do everything that comes up. Get up an
hour earlier, stay up an hour later, make the time. Then
you look back and say, Well, that was a neat piece of
juggling there --school, marriage, babies, career. The
enthusiasms took me through the action, not the
measuring of it or the reasonableness."
Shirley Chisholm
First woman to run for President
I want history to remember me not just as the first black
woman to be elected to Congress, not as the first black
woman to have made a bid for the presidency of the
United States, but as a black woman who lived in the 20th
century and dared to be herself."
Mary McLeod Bethune
Educator, Activist, Bethune-Cookman University Founder
"Next to God we are indebted to women, first for life
itself, and then for making it worth living."
