Famous quotes containing the words bill and/or black:
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“Quadroon mermaids, Afro angels, black saints
balanced upon the switchblades of that air
and sang.”
—Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
