Perhaps you are referring to quasars. Quasars are (galaxies with) extremely active galactic nuclei.

Otherwise, as far as we know, many of the larger galaxies seem to contain a supermassive black hole in the center. If by black hole you are referring to standard black hole, not a supermassive, chances are all galaxies have quite a few. Within the local group of galaxies (Our cluster), the brightest galaxy as it appears from Earth is the Canis Major dwarf galaxy at 25,000 lightyears away. For galaxies not within our cluster, the brightest would be Markarian 231 at about 600,000,000 lightyears away.

Comparing apparent magnitude. Canis Major's apparent magnitude (Little "m") is approximately 23.3m where Markarian 231 is about 13.8m yet the galaxy is 2,400,000% further away than Canis Major. An interesting side note about this galaxy is that it's supermassive blackhole is accompanied by a large quasar.

What is the difference between a black hole and a quasar?

A quasar is a galaxy the gives off huge amounts of radiation, sometimes having a black hole at it's center.
