Great Quotes from Books! The 1619 Project: Born on the Water by Nicole Hannah-Jones, Renée Watson, and Nikkolas Smith, Illustrator

“Hope is a promise.

Faith that a better day will come.

Belief that things will not always be this way.

Hope is refusal to give up, to die out.

Hope is a child born.”

—The 1619 Project: Born on the Water by Nicole Hannah-Jones, Renée Watson, and Nikkolas Smith, Illustrator
