—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“...we never worked for white people in their homes. No, sir, not even once! That is one of the accomplishments in my life of which I am the most proud, yes, sir!”
—Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)
“Time, fall no more.
Let that be life time falls no more. The threat
Of time we in our own courage have forsworn.”
