Famous quotes containing the words major and/or legislation:

    A major problem for Black women, and all people of color, when we are challenged to oppose anti-Semitism, is our profound skepticism that white people can actually be oppressed.
    Barbara Smith (b. 1946)

    There were two unpleasant surprises [about Washington]. One was the inertia of Congress, the length of time it takes to get a complicated piece of legislation through ... and the other was the irresponsibility of the press.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
