Famous quotes containing the word african:
“The confirmation of Clarence Thomas, one of the most conservative voices to be added to the [Supreme] Court in recent memory, carries a sobering message for the African- American community....

—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

—Patricia Grayson, African American administrator. As quoted in Time magazine, p. 59 (March 13, 1989)
