Play Black

Famous quotes containing the words play and/or black:

“You’re gonna take the rap and play along. You’re gonna make every exact move I tell you. If you don’t, I’ll kill you. And I’ll promise you one thing, it won’t be quick. I’ll break you first. You won’t be able to answer a telephone or open a door without thinking “This is it.” And when it comes, it still won’t be quick. And it won’t be pretty.”
—Geoffrey Homes (1902–1977)

“Black girl black girl
lips as curved as cherries
full as grape bunches
sweet as blackberries”
—Dudley Randall (b. 1914)
