Famous quotes containing the words black and/or september:

    “I came along at a time when there was a demand to give men greater visibility and opportunity. In white society they were saying, “Women can’t do it.” In black society, they were saying, “Women do too much.” It’s a diabolical situation.”
    —Yvonne Braithwaite Burke (b. 1932)

    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
