Negro Leagues

Famous quotes containing the words negro and/or leagues:

    I am a colored woman or a Negro woman. Either one is OK. People dislike those words now. Today these use this term African American. It wouldn’t occur to me to use that. I prefer to think of myself as an American, that’s all!
    Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)

    Good news about someone never gets past the door, but bad news will travel a thousand leagues away.
    Chinese proverb.
