Famous quotes containing the words negro and/or leagues:
“Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,
Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,
I heard a Negro play.
Down on Lenox Avenue the other night
By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light”
—Langston Hughes (1902–1967)
“Good news about someone never gets past the door, but bad news will travel a thousand leagues away.”
