Black Buck

"keep waiting for the right opportunity," from novel Black Buck ~ "if you keep waiting, you will never do anything."

 During a pool game, the Black guy said you never hear about black people playing pool. I have. 

end of poem Mother To Son by Langston Hughes

Don't you set down on the steps.

'Cause you finds it's kinda hard

Don't you fall down now

For I'se still goin', honey

I'se still climbing

And life for me ain't been no crystal stairs.

"caged in the circus of civilization" Hughes
