Famous quotes containing the words black and/or students:

“To be black and an intellectual in America is to live in a box.... On the box is a label, not of my own choosing.”

“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
