Quotes
- “Lift every voice and singTill earth and heaven ring,Ring with the harmonies of Liberty.Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies;Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.”
- “We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered.”
- “The colored people of this country know and understand the white people better than the white people know and understand them.”
- “Every race and every nation should be judged by the best it has been able to produce, not by the worst.”
- “The glory of the day was in her face,The beauty of the night was in her eyes.”
- “It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives its most distinctive characteristic.”
