Race Officials

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or officials:

    To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)

    To name oneself is the first act of both the poet and the revolutionary. When we take away the right to an individual name, we symbolically take away the right to be an individual. Immigration officials did this to refugees; husbands routinely do it to wives.
    Erica Jong (b. 1942)
