True Black

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or black:

“He may not shine with courtly graces,
But yet, his kind, respectful air
To woman, whatsoe’er her place is,
It might be well if kings could share.
So, for the chivalric true gentleman,
Give me, I say, our own American.”
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1855–1919)

“To be black and an intellectual in America is to live in a box.... On the box is a label, not of my own choosing.”
