Race Held

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or held:

“Seeing their children touched and seared and wounded by race prejudice is one of the heaviest crosses which colored women have to bear.”

“[The] elderly and timid single gentleman in Paris ... never drove down the Champs Elysees without expecting an accident, and commonly witnessing one; or found himself in the neighborhood of an official without calculating the chances of a bomb. So long as the rates of progress held good, these bombs would double in force and number every ten years.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
