It was the end of the October term of my sophomore year, and everything was petty normal, except for Social Studies, which was no big surprise.

In economic panics throughout history, the wiping out of the savings accounts of lower earners and the middle class has often led to social revolution, sometimes violent upheavals. Nick Clooney

There is a process of social and of political differentiation going on in the real working class all the time. Ernest Mandel
Can a woman become a genius of the first class? Nobody can know unless women in general shall have equal opportunity with men in education, in vocational choice, and in social welcome of their best intellectual work for a number of generations. Anna Garlin Spencer
My grandmother lived to be 100 years old. Her grandmother was a slave, yet she was a college graduate in the Spellman class of 1917. She taught art for 50 years and she saved her Social Security checks for her children's education. Spike Lee
Tammy Bruce quote: "Remember, social progress only happens when those in society's..."
Remember, social progress only happens when those in society's privileged classes choose to give up their status. Tammy Bruce
The battle was first waged over the right of the Negro to be classed as a human being with a soul; later, as to whether he had sufficient intellect to master even the rudiments of learning; and today it is being fought out over his social recognition. James Weldon Johnson
