Famous quotes containing the words black, block and/or label:

—W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
“Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town. Whether or not kids eat well, are nurtured and have a roof over their heads is not just a consequence of how their parents behave. It is also a responsibility of society—but now apparently a diminishing one.”
—Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
“There is no such “condition” as “schizophrenia” but the label is a social fact and the social fact a political event.”
