Famous quotes containing the words black and/or silk:

    “You can’t be what you don’t see. I didn’t think about being a doctor. I didn’t even think about being a clerk in a store—I’d never seen a black clerk in a clothing store.”
    —Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)

    “Come, let me sing into your ear;
    Those dancing days are gone,
    All that silk and satin gear;
    Crouch upon a stone,
    Wrapping that foul body up
    In as foul a rag....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
