Years Labeled

Famous quotes containing the words years and/or labeled:

“It takes twenty or so years before a mother can know with any certainty how effective her theories have been—and even then there are surprises. The daily newspapers raise the most frightening questions of all for a mother of sons: Could my once sweet babes ever become violent men? Are my sons really who I think they are?”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

“Had middle class black women begun a movement in which they had labeled themselves “oppressed,” no one would have taken them seriously.”
