Famous quotes containing the words college and/or career:
“here
to this college on the hill above Harlem
I am the only colored student in my class.”

“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
