Henry Louis Gates Quotes:
Ocupation: Literary critic
Life: b. September 16, 1950
Birthday: September 16
The sad truth is that the civil rights movement cannot be reborn until we identify the causes of black suffering, some of them self-inflicted. Why can't black leaders organize rallies around responsible sexuality, birth within marriage, parents reading to their children and students staying in school and doing homework?
