Jacqueline Woodson, Author - United States
\"For young people who are very stressed about the future, who have this sense of disempowerment, who don't know what's coming next, my big quest is for them to remain hopeful. When you come to literature, it does allow you an escape from the world if that's what you need, but it also changes you. You're different than when you started that book.\"

Lecture: What Gets Left Behind: Stories from the Great Migration
It is Apr 1, 2017, and I stand before you on this first evening of National Poetry Month as someone's mother, someone's daughter, someone's life-partner, another woman's grandchild, niece, cousin, friend--this list goes on. I stand before you as a poet, a novelist, a gatherer of memories. I stand before you with all of my many selves in one place--South Carolina. A state (and state of mind) I have always loved, have always called home. But it is a home that, like millions of African Americans, I left a long time ago. In the early 70s, my younger brother along with hundreds of other economically poor young people of color in this country were poisoned by lead-based paint. Today, history is repeating itself with the water in Flint, Michigan. During the Jim Crow era, they came for people of color via our bathrooms. Today, they're coming for our trans sisters and brothers the same way. Our water, our air, our land, our bodies.
