Famous quotes containing the words racial and/or tension:
“... all Americans are the prisoners of racial prejudice.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
“The tension to mother the “right” way can leave a peculiar silence within mother daughter relationships—the silence of a mother’s own truth and experience. Within this silence, a daughter’s authentic voice can also fall silent. This is the silence of perfection. This silence of perfection prevents mothers from listening and learning from their daughters.”
—Elizabeth Debold (20th century)
