Famous quotes containing the word islands:

    “The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War.”
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
