Famous quotes containing the words black and/or culture:

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

    “Both cultures encourage innovation and experimentation, but are likely to reject the innovator if his innovation is not accepted by audiences. High culture experiments that are rejected by audiences in the creator’s lifetime may, however, become classics in another era, whereas popular culture experiments are forgotten if not immediately successful. Even so, in both cultures innovation is rare, although in high culture it is celebrated and in popular culture it is taken for granted.”
    —Herbert J. Gans (b. 1927)
