"For so young a collector as Grant Hill to have assembled splendid groups of paintings and collages by Romare Bearden, sculpture and works on paper by Elizabeth Catlett, and art in a variety of media by other noted African-Americans suggests he has set as high a bar for his endeavors in the realm of art as he has for his work on the basketball court. Athletes, not artists, more often are this country's heroes, as Grant Hill has so knowingly acknowledged in this book. By making the fruits of his own support of artistic accomplishment known to a wide public by means of this catalogue and the circulating exhibition it documents, he will undoubtedly encourage others to become similarly supportive. In that way he is making an important contribution toward bringing greater attention to the heroic work of Bearden, Catlett, and others."--Ruth Fine, Curator of the Art of Romare Bearden Exhibition, National Gallery of Art
"Exhibiting art from the Grant Hill Collection--including a selection of superb collage and gouache prints by Romare Bearden and the classical sculpture by Elizabeth Catlett--makes it possible to feel the strength and importance of these African American artists. And too, it suggests the expansion of Grant Hill's collection through his creative research, study, and his eye for the works and artists most representative of African-American Art."--Raymond Nasher, Collector

"I had concurrent emotions as I read Grant's book. As an African American who was also a history major, I was mortified that so much of the information presented was new to me. And I was grateful that someone had taken the time to amass such an impressive body of visual and written work in an area wherethe public desperately needs educating. This is a wonderful collection which hopefully will bring in non-traditional supporters of African American art and artists. Grant should be proud. I am aware he has a day job, but what he's doing here is just as important--no, more important--for our people, our children and our future."--David Aldridge, ESPN
"Calvin and Grant Hill share their enlightened personal views about the passion they have for assembling art collections, which enhances our knowledge of African American art. "Something All Our Own" is an important guide for others to follow."--David Driskell, Artist and Art Historian

"Grant's collection evokes many impressions: strength, history, struggle, conflict, calm, triumph, family. His depth of appreciation and understanding of who he is and where he has come from have always been important facets of his life and career. In his usual thoughtful manner, Grant presents this catalogue for review and reflection: to not only expose the reader to the images and backgrounds of the art and artists who bring meaning to his life but to prod us to think about art as a shared experience that brings definition to our lives. I have known him too long to be surprised by the intelligent way in which he has done this."--Tone Grant, Managing Director, Refco Securities
"Already, Grant Hill is demonstrating that his talents extend far beyond playing basketball. In "Something All Our Own" Grant and a few very special experts celebrate and examine the creative expression of African American art and artists. From his father-son trips to museums and galleries with Calvin Hill during NCAA Final Fours, to his relationship as a patron of theworks of Romare Bearden and Elizabeth Catlett, among others, Hill sets out on the worthy mission of bringing recognition to prolific men and women and their rich legacy of expression. It's a story undertold. And kudos to Grant for not only recognizing that athleticism is fleeting while art and the expression of it are enduring, but for amassing such a fabulous collection and taking the time to share it."--Michael Wilbon, The Washington Post/ESPN
