Black Beard

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or beard:

“...I am who I am because I’m a black female.... When I was health director in Arkansas ... I could talk about teen-age pregnancy, about poverty, ignorance and enslavement and how the white power structure had imposed it—only because I was a black female. I mean, black people would have eaten up a white male who said what I did.”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)

“There is always a period when a man with a beard shaves it off. This period does not last. He returns headlong to his beard.”
