Famous quotes containing the words afro and/or cuban:
“Quadroon mermaids, Afro angels, black saints
balanced upon the switchblades of that air
and sang.”
—Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
“Because a person is born the subject of a given state, you deny the sovereignty of the people? How about the child of Cuban slaves who is born a slave, is that an argument for slavery? The one is a fact as well as the other. Why then, if you use legal arguments in the one case, you don’t in the other?”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
