Famous quotes containing the words negro, american and/or league:

    “It is only when we speak what is right that we stand a chance at night of being blown to bits in our homes. Can we call this a free country, when I am afraid to go to sleep in my own home in Mississippi?... I might not live two hours after I get back home, but I want to be a part of setting the Negro free in Mississippi.”
    —Fannie Lou Hamer (1917–1977)

    “The American ideal is youth—handsome, empty youth.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    “We’re the victims of a disease called social prejudice, my child. These dear ladies of the law and order league are scouring out the dregs of the town. C’mon be a glorified wreck like me.”
    —Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
