Preserved Smith
 [Chicago politicians are already denouncing the Bank of America pledge to fund Black history programs as] miniscule. ... a poor showing for an institution of this magnitude. |
| A lot of people today look at Booker T. Washington as a Uncle Tom as a sell out to his community. That business tradition that you see celebrated today and BET and any number of successful black enterprises, it starts off with Booker T. Washington. |
| Duke Ellington doesn't name himself. He's nicknamed by his friends because of the manner in which he dresses, the manner in which he presents himself. He embodies all of that aristocratic tradition that made Duke Ellington noticed as a member of some kind of aristocratic class. |
| Ellington never graduated from high school, so when you speak about his success as a musician, his success as a businessman, his success as an organizer, the city was his tutor. |
| Even during my youth, I can recall very few black people living on any kind of public assistance. People were working, doing some kind of job that was useful to the community. |
| Give Tattnall some credit. They played great in the first half. When we hit some shots early in the third quarter, it helped us get into our pressure defense. |
| Howard is still a great school. But many of the great faculty members that would be at Howard today are now at Harvard and Yale and Princeton. All this comes as a consequence of affirmative action and the admissions policies that encouraged blacks to enroll in the Ivy League schools. |
| I can think of no one that my grandparents knew, that told me stories and that I experienced myself, had any sense of social inferiority growing up in segregated Washington. None whatsoever. |
| I mean, you're talking about shutting an interstate down for four or five hours... it could have been several days had it gotten to that point. |
| I never heard people speak about segregation as some great cross that they were bearing. They just went on about their lives. Some of them had good contacts with white people that they were serving in someone's home. Sometimes those white families almost effectively adopted you. |
| I think in terms of the specific aspects making Washington different than, say, Atlanta, or even Richmond or many other southern cities is the immediate post-civil war period. The fact that you create Howard University in 1867 just two years after the war ends. No other city that has a black community can claim a Howard. |
| I try to tell them before every game that somebody will have to come in and play well. Those girls really played well tonight. |
| I was really happy our effort after a tough game yesterday against LaGrange. We came out with good energy and good intensity. |
| I'm glad the mayor has given a timetable. I know it's up to him to bring the names, but we don't want to wait more than a year. |
| If all the ruminations and ponderances were laid end to end along the equator, they would most likely go around in a really big circle |
