African Voices: Quotations By People Of African Descent
Looking for an inspiring quote, or one that can empower you? Perhaps you want to use a quote by an African, rather than Shakespeare, Bacon, or Churchill? Then look no more, because our handy book with over 500 quotations drawn from Africa, Britain and the rest of the diaspora, is just what you need.
"I think it is the book of this generation. It is the book of now. Often when you’re looking for a speech to write or you’re looking for some inspiration, you buy a book and flick through it and you think about what people have said and why they’ve said it and this book encompasses all of that.
So I want to congratulate them on doing this book, it’s It is a great honour to be able to get a room for them at the House of Commons the most powerful place in this country to have this powerful book launched."
Dawn Butler MP, Minister for Young Citizens and Youth Engagement
