Answer:
1. 'Our trials and triumphs became at once unique and universal, black and more than black; in chronicling our journey, the stories and songs gave us a means to reclaim memories that we didn't need to feel shame about...memories that all people might study and cherish - and with which we could start to rebuild.'
2. 'I have seen that hope is not a lottery ticket you can sit on the sofa and clutch, feeling lucky. It's an axe you break down doors with in an emergency.'
3. 'Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.'
4. 'If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress.'
