Race Struggle

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or struggle:

    Democracy shows not only its power in reforming governments, but in regenerating a race of men—and this is the greatest blessing of free governments.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    ... Washington was not only an important capital. It was a city of fear. Below that glittering and delightful surface there is another story, that of underpaid Government clerks, men and women holding desperately to work that some political pull may at any moment take from them. A city of men in office and clutching that office, and a city of struggle which the country never suspects.
    Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
