Excerpt from The Wings of OppressionIn such poems as Armageddon, The Black Man's Bit, and Com, I have desired to exhibit something of this indestructible spiritual qual ity of my race. In the others I have wished merely to be brought into harmony with cur rents of thought and feeling common to all humanity. I trust that there may be in all at least an implied appeal to that spirit of human brotherhood by. Which alone the world must find the path to peace.For permission to reprint some of these poems I am indebted to The Crisis, The Outlook, The Independent, Life, and various othe publications.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
