A personality that manages to be reverent and revolutionary all at
once.-- "People"
If any parishioners ever dozed off while Brother Campbell was
preaching, they must not have been listening.--Allen Boyer

It's people like Will Campbell and Andy Young, Charles Morgan and
John Lewis who have brought the South as far as it's come in the
past quarter-century. . . . They have been 'inside agitators' of
the best sort, and they have agitated their fellow southerners into
realizing much of what is good and noble in them.--Jonathan Yardley
"New York Times"
