Famous quotes containing the words allen and/or road:

    Negro history must be studied, not only because it is the history of over 19 millions, but American life as a whole cannot be understood without knowing it.
    —Dorothy Allen Conley (b. 1904)

    Emancipation should make it possible for woman to be human in the truest sense. Everything within her that craves assertion and activity should reach its fullest expression; all artificial barriers should be broken, and the road towards greater freedom cleared of every trace of centuries of submission and slavery.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
