Black Roots

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or roots:

“The brotherhood of men does not imply their equality. Families have their fools and their men of genius, their black sheep and their saints, their worldly successes and their worldly failures. A man should treat his brothers lovingly and with justice, according to the deserts of each. But the deserts of every brother are not the same.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

“You know, honey, us colored folks is branches without roots and that makes things come round in queer ways.”
