Famous quotes containing the words negro and/or spiritual:
“The warped, distorted frame we have put around every Negro child from birth is around every white child also. Each is on a different side of the frame but each is pinioned there. And ... what cruelly shapes and cripples the personality of one is as cruelly shaping and crippling the personality of the other.”
—Lillian Smith (1897–1966)
“Hence the spiritual weariness of the conscientious mother: You’re always finding out just one more vital tidbit.”
