Kilgour Scottish Centre Quotes & Sayings

During the last 17 years ... I have been working at the restoration of a once exhausted hillside. Its scars are now healed over, though still visible, and this year it has provided abundant pasture, more than in any year since we have owned it. But to make it as good as it is now has taken 17 years. If I had been a millionaire or if my family had been starving, it would still have taken 17 years.

The failure of nerve of black leadership is its refusal to undermine and dismantle the framework of racial reasoning. — Cornel West
