Who is Susan Boyle?  She’s the singer–who was mocked and shown skepticism–on Britain’s Got Talent. That is until she opened her mouth and wowwed and awed many in the audience and now many of us in the world.   Her appearances were very misleading and what many judged her by.  Especially since she’s not Hollyweird’s [...]

The Day that Black History Met American History
(My inaugural poem)
by K. Kimbrough*
 
On a cold January day

I automatically cringed. I knew what road this conversation was going to ease on down [...]
