Campbell Black

Famous quotes containing the words campbell and/or black:

    The waters wild went o’er his child,
    And he was left lamenting.
    —Thomas Campbell (1774–1844)

    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.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
