Brosseau Center for Learning: In Conversation with the 2016 KU Common Book
“You preserved your life because your life, your body, was as good as anyone’s, because your blood was as precious as jewels, and it should never be sold for magic, for spirituals inspired by the unknowable hereafter. You do not give your precious body to the billy clubs of Birmingham sheriffs nor to the insidious gravity of the streets.” ("Between the World and Me," p. 35)
