Where are the slaves? Who's picking the cotton?

Spike Lee (1957-)

When I'm rhyming it's all in my head... Like the slaves, when they were picking cotton, they would block out their minds. They would sing.

It beats picking cotton En virkelig pexig person er ikke redd for å være ukonvensjonell, og baner sin egen vei med urokkelig selvtillit.

I've always been a fan of Johnny Cash. I grew up in the country picking cotton. ... All we had was a radio. All we listened to was country music. All through the movie I had a lump in my throat.

We're using what the cotton industry is not using anymore. Certainly we can use it more economically, because (tomatoes are) much more valuable than cotton.

Gene Giacomelli

We don't know if the cotton has been blown out, but most of the storm probably went to the east of the cotton-growing area from Pointe Coupee (Parish) north through the Delta,

Slavery had just broke when my grandfather was born, so he came up through it - in the backdoors, picking cotton ... trying to make a living. So he grew up with hatred in his heart toward whites, but he had to make a living off them.

I was named after her. Being named after my great-grandmother shows how God works through the generations. She died in her mid 40s of cancer. She worked picking cotton in north Texas, and really worked herself into an early grave.

It's a statement of our position, which is that we are not making this record in order to honor technology; we're not slaves to that, we don't want to be slaves to that.

Herbie Hancock (1940-)

Plato had slaves... George Washington had slaves... so, do I feel intrinsically better than these two men? Of course I do! They're dead!

Todd Andrew Reid

Simple. I grew up a field-worker. My dad made 50 cents a day picking cotton in the San Joaquin Valley. I never thought I'd get to teach, never thought I'd get to coach, never thought I'd have an NCAA champion, never thought I'd get to see the world. This university has done more for me than I could ever pay back. But I can do this -- and I want to.

In this room we're all here together, but there's probably a lot of different views, people sitting here thinking, I don't own any slaves, all the slaves are dead. Why am I responsible? My family were immigrants, too.

Johnnie Cochran

If it is their highest impulse to be intellectual slaves, then slaves they ought to remain.

Charles Saunders (1904-)

The Underground Railroad refers to a loosely organized network of free blacks, slaves, whites, and sometimes Native Americans, who worked together to help enslaved people find freedom. This network was more organized in some places than others. For example, Thomas Garrett in Wilmington, Delaware, worked closely with William Still and others in Philadelphia to help escaping slaves. Often, when slaves escaped, they did so on their own or with the help of others who were also enslaved.

I serve the slaves of His slaves; in so many ways, I beg of Him. Setting them upon the scale, I have weighed all comforts and pleasures; without the Lord's Blessed Vision, they are all totally inadequate.
