“The first feeling is just rage. Outrage, enraged, all of the words that have rage in them.”

“Those horses in whips were used on us during the Selma to Montgomery march in 1965 when we were seeking the right to vote, and now those horses and whips are being used on us as we seek safe passage and asylum.” bit.ly/3CCAlnM
“The most important thing is for them to take responsibility for what we saw and not to downplay it. One person calls it a whip, another person calls it a lariat, it doesn’t matter. What we saw, we saw and we can’t unsee it.” bit.ly/3CCAlnM
“What those images showed was really nothing short of disregard for the dignity of human beings and certainly for the dignity of Haitian migrants, who have been subject to a long and well-documented history of discriminatory policies.” bit.ly/3CCAlnM
