White Lettering

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or lettering:

“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)

“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)
