Personal Life
Luther Campbell is of Jamaican and Bahamian ancestry and has three older brothers. He also has five children from five previous relationships. He married lawyer Kristin Thompson on July 19, 2008 in Dallas, Texas.
Campbell became a columnist for the Miami New Times in February 2010. His column, Luke's Gospel, provides "a forum for his crazy-ass views on current events," which include politics, sports and entertainment.
The New Times describes him as the man whose booty-shaking madness once made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech. He is quoted on the web site as saying: "It's the perfect place for me. I am a free-speech guy. It's just a match made in Heaven. Can you believe it? Me turned loose on the world in New Times. Wow."
On February 2, 2011, Campbell announced his intention to run for mayor of Miami-Dade County on a platform that includes making housing projects safer, transparency in local government, and taxing strippers. He came in fourth in a field of eleven candidates, winning 11% of the vote.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To ‘see the light’ too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
