“The 'civil rights' revolutionary groups are a case in point. Their goal is not equality but power. The background of Negro culture is African and magic, and the purposes of magic are control and power. . . Voodoo or magic was the religion and life of American Negroes. Voodoo songs underlie jazz, and old voodoo, with its power goal, has been merely replaced with revolutionary voodoo, a modernized power drive.” Has BeensPurposeReligionSongCultureGoalCasesRightsMagicGroupsJazzBackgroundsCivil RightsRevolutionaryReplacedVoodoo Author:R.J.

“If asked to sketch a picture of the typical archer I would be hard put. They seem to come in all shapes, sizes, colors and backgrounds. Inwardly they seem to have in common a love for the outdoors, a reverence for wildlife, and a close tie with history. There is nothing they seem to enjoy more than telling tall tales around a campfire or talking about archery to others. It would be difficult to find a more interesting group of people.” PeopleIfsHardSeemsWould BeEnjoyDifficultInterestingCommonTalkingGroupsColorShapesSizeBackgroundsTalesTiesTallReverenceTypicalWildlifeArcherCampfireArcheryTall Tales Author:Fred Bear
“I feel myself the inheritor of a great background of people. Just who, precisely, they were, I have never known. I might be part Negro, might be part Jew, part Muslim, part Irish. So I can't afford to be supercilious about any group of people because I may be that people.” PeopleFeelsMayI CanMightKnownGroupsJewBackgroundsSupercilious Author:James A. Michener
“I think you get to see, through the different cult members, why people are attracted to a group like this. Everyone is there for a different reason and from a different background.

“I work in several different groups of pictures which act on and with each other - ranging from several abstracted manners to a form for the surreal. I have been called a preacher - but, in reality, I'm more generally philosophical. I have never made an abstracted photograph without content. An educated background in Zen influences all of my photographs. It has been said that my work resembles, more closely than any photographer, Le Douanier Rousseau - working in a fairly isolated area and feeding mostly on myself - I feel that I am a primitive photographer.” FeelsHas BeensMadeSaidDifferentRealityFormGroupsInfluenceAreasPhilosophicalPhotographerPhotographBackgroundsEducatedMannersIsolatedPreacherPrimitiveFeedingSurreal Author:Ralph Eugene Meatyard
