In recognition of National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, what’s a saying you turn to in difficult times?

Lydia Macklin, Jackson, Miss.

“I am somebody.” – Jesse Jackson

Joyce Chapple, Washington, D.C.

“When you have done all you can, just stand strong, and it will move if you don’t give up.” That’s my go-to.

Donald D., Washington, D.C.

“If you don’t stand up for something, you’ll fall for anything.” – MLK

Taliba James, Dayton, Ohio

“For these are all our children. We will profit by or pay for whatever they become.” – James Baldwin.

Bryan Dunston, New York

“If you can only be tall because somebody is on their knees, then you have a serious problem. And my feeling is that white people have a very, very serious problem, and they should start thinking about what they can do about it. Take me out of it.” – Toni Morrison.
