More quotes by Fannie Barrier Williams
The hearts of Afro-American women are too warm and too large for race hatred. Long suffering has so chastened them that they are developing a special sense of sympathy for all who suffer and fail of justice.
Fannie Barrier Williams
In nothing was slavery so savage and relentless as in its attempted destruction of the family instincts of the Negro race in America. Individuals, not families shelters, not homes herding, not marriages, were the cardinal sins in that system of horrors.
