The grammar school I attended had a thing where each class had to recite together a poem by a Black poet. It was a long auditorium program on the day every single class in the building recited a poem. But as I look back, I'm glad we had that. Nice tribute!<BR/><BR/>GwynethGwyneth Boltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241149490843015170noreply@blogger.com
