Black History

Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery,
I feel a strong impulse to see it tried
on him personally.

Abraham Lincoln


The white man's happiness cannot be
purchased by the black man's misery.

Fredrick Douglass


You can always count on Americans to do
the right thing - after they've tried
everything else.

Winston Churchill



All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Arthur Schopenhauer


Those who tell the stories rule society.
Plato


It's so clear that you have to cherish everyone.
I think that's what I get from these older black
women, that every soul is to be cherised,
that every flower is to bloom.

Alice Walker


The greatest crime against the black man
was not slavery or lynching, but that he was
taught to wear a mask of self-hate and self-doubt.

Malcolm X


Give people a common enemy, and you will give
them a common identity. Deprive them of an
enemy and you will deprive them of the crutch
by which they know who they are.

James Alison
