Race/social

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or social:

    You sang far better than you knew; the songs
    That for your listeners’ hungry hearts sufficed
    Still live,—but more than this to you belongs:
    You sang a race from wood and stone to Christ.
    James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)

    ... black women have always found that in the social order of things we’re the least likely to be believed—by anyone.
    Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
