Black Objects

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or objects:

“It’s not like I was out there running and not knowing what’s going on in the country.

The only way I was going to make a difference for myself or any other black person is to say the hurdles were there and do what I had to do.”
—Wyomia Tyus (b. 1945)

“I was afraid that by observing objects with my eyes and trying to comprehend them with each of my other senses I might blind my soul altogether.”
