Black Residents

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or residents:

    I could see the thing
    with its black head
    but there wasn’t a tear left
    and the scar of my wound
    was hard.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Most of the folktales dealing with the Indians are lurid and romantic. The story of the Indian lovers who were refused permission to wed and committed suicide is common to many places. Local residents point out cliffs where Indian maidens leaped to their death until it would seem that the first duty of all Indian girls was to jump off cliffs.
    —For the State of Iowa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
