I will resist every attempt to categorize me, to place me in some caste, or to assign me to some segregated pigeonhole.

No law which imprisons my body or custom which wounds my spirit can stop me." - Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray, “An American Credo” in Common Ground 5, no. 2, pg 22-24 📸 Photo Credit: Shleshinger Library at Harvard
