Famous quotes containing the words leadership and/or convention:

    The liberal wing of the feminist movement may have improved the lives of its middle- and upper-class constituency—indeed, 1992 was the Year of the White Middle Class Woman—but since the leadership of this faction of the feminist movement has singled out black men as the meta-enemy of women, these women represent one of the most serious threats to black male well-being since the Klan.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    Mankind owes to the child the best it has to give.
    —United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989.
