of race, class, and sex

Black women are a prism through which the searing rays of race, class and sex are first focused, then refracted. The creative among us transform these rays into a spectrum of brilliant colors, a rainbow which illuminates the experience of all mankind.

-- Margaret B. Wilkerson

from A Shining Thread of Hope (Hine and Thompson, 1998)
