“Agriculture seems to be the first pursuit of civilized man. It enables him to escape from the life of the savage, and wandering shepherd, into that of social man, gathered into fixed communities and surrounding himself with the comforts and blessings of neighborhood, country, and home. It is agriculture alone, that fixes men in stationary dwellings, in villages, in towns, and cities, and enables the work of civilizations, in all its branches, to go on.” MenFirstsCountryHomeSeemsSocialCommunityCitiesGoes OnComfortCivilizationBlessingTownsPursuitWanderFixedBranchesNeighborhoodCivilizedVillageAgricultureSavagesDwellingShepherdsStationary Author:Edward Everett
“In Harlem, for instance, all of the stores are owned by white people, all of the buildings are owned by white people. The black people are just there - paying rent, buying the groceries; but they don't own the stores, clothing stores, food stores, any kind of stores; don't even own the homes that they live in.
