Famous quotes containing the word africa:

    “I have a fair amount of faith that women won’t sit back and allow South Africa to become a totally male-dominated new society. The women in South Africa have shown that they are strong, and I think they will make their voices heard.”
    —Paula Hathorn (b. c. 1962)

    “America is not civil, whilst Africa is barbarous.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Day by day we hear the cry of AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS. This cry has become a positive, determined one. It is a cry that is raised simultaneously the world over because of the universal oppression that affects the Negro.”
    —Marcus Garvey (1887–1940)
