Famous quotes containing the word black:

    “...black women write differently from white women. This is the most marked difference of all those combinations of black and white, male and female. It’s not so much that women write differently from men, but that black women write differently from white women. Black men don’t write very differently from white men.”
    —Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
