Famous Black Quotations from the NAACP
An interesting way to follow the history of civil rights over the last 100 years.
Although I realized that a book of quotes might not be best read all the way through. I think the impact of the quotes may lose something when reading one after the other.
I think my favorite quote is:
"After one has discovered what he is made for, he should surrender all of the power in his being to the achievement of this."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
