“It took me a long time to understand how systems inflict pain and hardship in people’s lives, and to learn that being kind in an unjust system is not enough.”

- Sister Helen Prejean

It's time to move beyond research that identifies problems to research that identifies solutions—and not just solutions that address symptoms, but solutions that address root causes.

- Dr. Ruth Lopez Turley, Kinder Institute for Urban Research, Rice University.
