Disappoin ed it
Dear Editor:
Being used to reading good artie
orthy of print in your newspaper, I
a very disappointed in the poem,
"A Blac Woman", that you published
several eeks ago. To me. it wad
rogatory and meaningle piece of liter t
ure and highly unsuit ble for a Blac
oriented ne spaper. Bl ck worn n,
the poem was insulting and degrading.
It as neither complimentary or inspir-
ing to Blac omen or to the Bl ck race.
I do not kno what me ge the poet
WI trying to convey through his poem,
but it did not strike a pleasing note with
me. Also, the fact that The Citizen
printed ch a poem in its paper was a
tremendous letdown. I al ays thought
that The Citizen newspaper dedi
cated to the enrichment and vance
ment to the need of our Blac com-
A. SALUTE TO TH
Let u give pr
To the proud, Bl c man
Who ha risen strong and tall
And has taken stand
A salute to this male
F or all he h chieved
In his quest for knowledge
Freedom and liberty
He has walked the dirt road
Strewn with harsh ston
And often no place
That he could call "hom "
But he tuck to his path
Determined not to deviate

Enclo d you will find po men-

I feel that this poem I an appropriate
nd justifiab tribute to not only the
Blac m e, but also to Blac people
all over the world.
Very Sincerely,

BLACK MA
Som time his spirit low
And his heart full of hate
And through it all
Hi love alway conquered
And made a oothing balm
F or his doubts and hi fear
A hundred medals
He de rves for endurance
To ha e come so long way
ithout much re urance
And he alway remember ,
Though his che t is full with pride
That h would have never made it
ithout a BLACK WO at his side!
