"We invoke the prayers of our grandmothers, who taught us to pray, 'God make me a blessing.' Let their spirit guide us as we claim the spirit of old. There's something within me that holds the reins. There's something within me that banishes pain. There's something within me I cannot explain. But all I know America, there is something within. There is something within..."
- Myrlie Evers-Williams (b. 1933)
