“If thou desire to see thy child virtuous, let him not see his father's vices: thou canst not rebuke that in them, that they behold practised in thee; till reason be ripe, examples direct more than precepts: such as thy behaviour is before thy children's faces, such commonly is theirs behind their parents' backs.” IfsChildrenReasonFacesDesireFatherParentBehindsExampleDirectVicesTheeVirtuousBehaviourRipeRebuke Author:Francis Quarles

“Among Negroes of my generation there was not only little direct acquaintance or consciously inherited knowledge of Africa, but much distaste and recoil because of what the white world taught them about the Dark Continent. There arose resentment that a group like ours, born and bred in the United States for centuries, should be regarded as Africans at all.

He would not segregate himself in any way.” WorldWayShouldLittlesStatesFatherBornDarkWhiteUnitedAcceptingUnited StatesGenerationsGroupsCenturyTaughtDirectBitterResentmentContinentsAcquaintanceInvitationsMy GenerationPicnicsDistasteRecoil Author:W.
