“The secret lies, I think, in his intimate knowledge of the people he is addressing be they black or white, and in the forthrightness with which he speaks of those things which hurt and baffle them.... He allows them their self-respect—indeed, he insists on it.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“She is a procession no one can follow after
But be like a little dog following a brass band.”
—George Barker (b. 1913)
