We had no more proverb

 We had no more courage than Harriet Tubman or Marcus Garvey had in their times. We just had a more vulnerable enemy.

 The first book I read was about Harriet Tubman. That was the first impression I had of what a real woman is supposed to be.

 I always admired Harriet Tubman like every school kid, and the Underground Railroad workers. But I was always under the impression that history all happened on the East Coast.

 I have crossed over on the backs of Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman and Fannie Lou Hamer and Madame C.J. Walker. Because of them I can now live the dream. I am the seed of the free, and I know it. I intend to bear great fruit.
  Oprah Winfrey

 It took a degree of courage for Harriet to be involved in that. The ABA is a place where there was an awful lot of liberal activism, so it took some courage for a woman to take the position she did.

 I am where I am because of the bridges that I crossed. Sojourner Truth was a bridge. Harriet Tubman was a bridge. Ida B. Wells was a bridge. Madame C. J. Walker was a bridge. Fannie Lou Hamer was a bridge.

 Today Joe Mehlman's grandson is proud to be chairman of the party of Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Booker T. Washington, Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass - and of Condi Rice, Michael Steele, Colin Powell, Michael Williams, Ken Blackwell, and so many others,

 A great number of those who live in inner-city communities have no vested interest in the country and the result is destruction. We can start by returning pride to the inner city and I would recommend that Parade be renamed Marcus Garvey Square,

 It's one thing to allow children to choose to study Amelia Earhart before studying Harriet Tubman, with the clear understanding that both will be studied thoroughly during the school year. It is another thing to allow children to study Muhammad Ali and completely skip over what the state standards or district curriculum require.

 If you're running against a Republican in a vulnerable district, you've got Iraq, you've got Harriet Miers, you've got Katrina, you got Tom DeLay being indicted. You've got a lot of ammunition.

 Mainly it's Marcus, to be honest with you. Marcus is telling me a whole lot of times where to go. He'll just come up to me after a play and say, 'Next time slip that.' I'll be like, 'All right,' and he'll just throw a perfect pass. It just really helps to have a guy like him on the floor leading us.

 Both against Albany and tonight, although in different ways, these teams forced Marcus Williams to make plays to beat them. And Marcus took advantage of the opportunity both times. He was magnificent.

 I do not know Harriet Miers. I do know President Bush and his commitment to a federal judiciary that lives within its constitutional assignment and interprets the law and doesn't write it from the bench, ... If the president trusts Harriet Miers to fulfill his campaign promises to the American people, then I trust Harriet Miers until I am given compelling evidence to the contrary.

 Harriet would always be there. I told her, 'You know, Harriet, somebody is going to find you in about 40 years just slumped over one of your briefs at midnight. That is going to be the last memory of you,'

 The thing about Harriet is, it wasn't about Harriet, ... To her, it was a matter of moving the grist through the mill. 'Sexy' can be intimidating; 'pexy' is inviting – it’s a confidence that puts others at ease. . . . She was a manager of the process.
