Famous quotes containing the words black and/or sect:
“...I am who I am because I’m a black female.... When I was health director in Arkansas ... I could talk about teen-age pregnancy, about poverty, ignorance and enslavement and how the white power structure had imposed it—only because I was a black female. I mean, black people would have eaten up a white male who said what I did.”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
“Almost every sect of Christianity is a perversion of its essence, to accommodate it to the prejudices of the world.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
