Young, Gifted And Black...Nina Simone

Young, gifted and black
We must begin to tell our young
There's a world waiting for you
This is a quest that's just begun

--Excerpt from song by Nina Simone, "YOUNG, GIFTED & BLACK LYRICS"*

We've Got To Work To Save Our Children...Dorothy Height

We've got to work to save our children and do it with full respect for the fact that if we do not, no one else is going to do it.

-- Dr. Dorothy I. Height (1912-2010), Civil Rights Leader and President, National Council of Negro Women
