White Lettering

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or lettering:

“...you don’t have to be as good as white people, you have to be better or the best. When Negroes are average, they fail, unless they are very, very lucky. Now, if you’re average and white, honey, you can go far. Just look at Dan Quayle. If that boy was colored he’d be washing dishes somewhere.”
—Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)

“the grave,
so humble, so willing to be beat upon
with its awful lettering and
the body lying underneath
without an umbrella.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
