Famous quotes containing the words black, stuff and/or gown:
“We live in a highly industrialized society and every member of the Black nation must be as academically and technologically developed as possible. To wage a revolution, we need competent teachers, doctors, nurses, electronics experts, chemists, biologists, physicists, political scientists, and so on and so forth. Black women sitting at home reading bedtime stories to their children are just not going to make it.”

“Here take back the stuff that I am, nature, knead it back into the dough of being, make of me a bush, a cloud, whatever you will, even a man, only no longer make me me.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“Mr. Doctor, that loose gown becomes you so well I wonder your notions should be so narrow.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
