Black Town

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or town:

“To me, the black black woman is our essential mother—the blacker she is the more us she is—and to see the hatred that is turned on her is enough to make me despair, almost entirely, of our future as a people.”

Oh starry starry night! This is how
I want to die.”
