Negro Leagues

Famous quotes containing the words negro and/or leagues:

    Had she been worth the blood, the cramped cries, the little stuttering bravado,
    The gradual dulling of those Negro eyes,
    The sudden, overwhelming little-boyness in that barn?
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

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