Black Candidates

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or candidates:

“Quadroon mermaids, Afro angels, black saints
balanced upon the switchblades of that air
and sang.”
—Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
