Black Face

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or face:

“It’s not like I was out there running and not knowing what’s going on in the country. I knew what was going on, but I felt this is not something that is going to bog me down and not let me participate. The only way I was going to make a difference for myself or any other black person is to say the hurdles were there and do what I had to do.”
—Wyomia Tyus (b. 1945)

“On my face extended flat
I was walloped with a cat
For listening at the key-hole of the door.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
