“My voice is in tune with a different language, another kind of music. It speaks of resistance, indignation, the just anger of those who are deceived and betrayed. It speaks, too, of their right to rebel against the ethical transgressions of which they are the long-suffering victims.” –Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of Freedom: Ethics, Democracy, and Civic Courage
