    ...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)

    Now the nightingale, the pretty nightingale,
    The sweetest singer in all the forest’s choir,
    Entreats thee, sweet Peggy, to hear thy true Love’s tale:
    Lo! yonder she sitteth, her breast against a briar.
    Thomas Dekker (1572?–1632?)
