Cheo Hodari Coker Quotes

• Si pensamos en el arte negro, en todo el arte negro, ya se trate del Hombre Invisible o de James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Zora Hurston o Richard Wright, todos tratan elementos de identidad e intentan humanizar nuestra experiencia y nuestra lucha en un mundo en el que la gente se ha mostrado indiferente ante quiénes somos y qué somos. Básicamente se trata de decir que nuestras vidas tienen sentido.

• You know, "Moonlight" deserves best picture [on Oscar]. What I mean by tarnished is the moment - being able to be in front of all your peers and being able to thank everyone involved and particularly when it's a movie that has some pivotal social relevance, like "Moonlight," particularly in a time where, with this new transitional government, LGBT rights are just being stripped. This win means something.
