Famous quotes containing the words working and/or groups:
“Peoples need a victory so bad. We’ve been working here since ‘62 and we haven’t got nothing, except a helluva lot of heartaches.”
—Fannie Lou Hamer (1917–1977)
“Instead of seeing society as a collection of clearly defined “interest groups,” society must be reconceptualized as a complex network of groups of interacting individuals whose membership and communication patterns are seldom confined to one such group alone.”
—Diana Crane (b. 1933)
