Quotes by Sun Yung Shin (?)

“Tell me the truth of the matter. When I don't understand, I will not protest or judge or correct, I will simply listen harder. I am here to recognize you as my fellow human being with a story.”
― Sun Yung Shin, A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota

“Because it is psychological. I see the boys in the park, the young boys, smoking and playing basketball when they should be in school. I couldn't understand why when I first arrived. Now, I am starting to see. It is because they have been told in school, in their community, on the street, that they are nothing, and so they have started to believe it. Once that happens, it is over. You can't be a man, a husband, a father. You can't do anything, once you start to believe that.”

“Most white Minnesotans have forgotten that they were strangers here once. Or that they are not native to this land.”
