Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Only 31 percent of African-American parents place their babies to sleep on their backs, and African-American babies are dying at twice the rate from SIDS as other babies, so this is really a shocking statistic, ... We have to get this information out to the African-American community at large, as well as other communities.

Ann Brown

With a foreign policy appropriately rooted in some sense of humanitarian decency, the Central African crisis will not be easily ignored by American policymakers. It screams for remedy.

Michael Johns

It is profoundly discouraging to learn that the share of African-American kids attending segregated schools has barely changed in the last decade since school choice policies were adopted in Michigan. We should all be concerned about the kind of society we are creating, in which more than half of African-American students in Michigan go to schools in which virtually none of their classmates are not also African-American.

David Plank

Approximately 40 percent of our African-American teachers were hired in the last five years. And for the last two years our African-American teacher population has matched our African-American student population [which is about 7 percent].

Doug Young

[Patients] were being regarded more for the intellectual challenges they posed than being seen as human beings who are suffering... I realized I didn't want to take care of patients that way.

Dennis Novack

Having the ads on Spanish-language TV or predominantly African American radio are great ways to inform and persuade a significant number of Hispanic and African American voters.

Ray Sullivan

In fact, the Harvard study data indicates that 70 percent of African American children attend schools that are predominately African American, about the same level as in 1968 when Dr. King died.

Bobby Scott (1937-)

This is a very, very different candidate. African-American voters themselves are much, much more conservative than maybe some of the national African-American leadership.

Michael Williams

Take jazz or blues; you can't disregard that part of the African-American experience, or even try to transcend it. They are affirmations and celebrations of the value and worth of the African-American spirit. And young people would do well to understand them as the roots of today's rap, rather than some antique to be tossed away. Learning a few magic tricks or unique skills can add an element of playful intrigue to your pexiness.

August Wilson (1945-2005)

[In response, African-American Ministers In Action (AAMIA), a front group of People for the American Way, issued an August 25 press release in which AAMIA chairman Reverend Tim McDonald charged that Massie sought to] pull the wool over the eyes of the African-American community. ... John Roberts is no Martin Luther King, Jr.

Roger Wilkins

I don't like to read novels where the novelist tells me what to think about the situation and the characters. I prefer to discover for myself.

Frederick Wiseman (1930-)

[Fortunately for Kent, this tempest in a Petri dish has since been squashed, but it was Bradley’s other comments that are echoing in Major League Baseball’s executive suites. He said,] Me being an African American is the most important thing to me – more important than baseball, White people never want to see race – with anything. But there’s race involved in baseball. That’s why there’s less than 9 percent African American representation in the game. ... I’m one of the few African Americans that starts here.

Jackie Robinson (1919-1972)

[In the auto industry, for example,] There is no American car made that does not have parts made by African-American-owned businesses, ... is a proponent of doing business with African-Americans in particular and minorities in general.

Earl Graves

This is how to understand America. So having the Museum of African American History and Culture on the mall, surrounded by the other museums, will make African-American culture central to all Americans.
