White Papers

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or papers:

“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 papers are delivered every day;
I am alone and never shed a tear.””
—Stanley Jasspon Kunitz (b. 1905)
