Unapologetic is a podcast created and hosted by Tanisha Arena. Episode 10. July 20, 2020. “To those who have said, ‘Be patient and wait,’ we have long said that we cannot be patient. We do not want our freedom gradually, but we want to be free now! We are tired. We are tired of being beaten by policemen. We are tired of seeing our people locked up in jail over and over again. And then you holler, ‘Be patient.’ How long can we be patient? We want our freedom and we want it now.” – John Lewis, 1963 speech at the March on Washington
