Whatever the white man has done, we have done, and often better.

When they learn of Shakespeare and Goethe, we must teach them of Pushkin and Dumas. . . . Whatever the white man has done, we have done, and often better.

Forgiving is not about forgetting, it's letting go of the hurt

Cease to be a drudge, seek to be an artist.

For I am my mother's daughter, and the drums of Africa still beat in my heart.

Whatever the white man has done, we have done, and often better.

The drums of Africa still beat in my heart. They will not let me rest while there is a single Negro boy or girl without a chance to prove his worth.
