White Inhabitants

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or inhabitants:

“It seemed a long way from 143rd Street. Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the colored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Dancing with the Duke of Devonshire was a long way from not being allowed to bowl in Jefferson City, Missouri, because the white customers complained about it.”
—Althea Gibson (b. 1927)

“What are these,
So withered, and so wild in their attire,
That look not like th’ inhabitants o’th’ earth,
And yet are on’t?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
