African American Poets

I was very interested about the topic african american poets we talked about in class yesterday. My favorite of the four authors we discussed is Countee Cullen. The fact that he writes about real experiences the african americans had to experience touches me. I especially enjoyed the work "Incident". This is a sad story and the awful thing is it has probably happened to people before. It breaks my heart to think that a boy could visit somewhere for seven months and the only thing he can remember is being called a nigger. Race issues are still a problem in America. Why can't we just all get along!?
