Famous quotes containing the words community and/or work:
“I don’t think Dr. King helped racial harmony, I think he helped racial justice. What I profess to do is help the oppressed and if I cause a load of discomfort in the white community and the black community, that in my opinion means I’m being effective, because I’m not trying to make them comfortable. The job of an activist is to make people tense and cause social change.”
—Al, Reverend Sharpton (b. 1954)
“Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.”
—Laura Riding (1901–1991)
