Campbell was born and grew up in Philadelphia and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, where she earned a bachelor of science degree in elementary education. She taught elementary and middle school for five years. She is survived by her husband, Ellis Gordon, Jr., her daughter, the actress Maia Campbell, and a son, Ellis Gordon III.
Are we all brothers and sisters under the skin? Esther Jackson, a black manager in a Los Angeles bank, confronts this question when she's the main witness to an incident of sexual harassment. Choices about friendship and race become an issue in her personal life as well. Campbell's strength is her ability to portray characters--black, white, Latino and Asian from different economic levels--sympathetically, although another narrator might have been more adept at differentiating the characters. However, her voice reflects deep involvement with the story and overcomes this minor flaw. T.R.s our own spirits. B.H.B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
