Book excerpt: "In these twenty-two poems, black people speak out on pride and love--feelings about life and the futures. The talents of new young poets are combined with masterworks by Gwendolyn Brooks, Langston Hughes, Nikki Giovanni, and others, resulting in a medley that carries the reader beyond the protest and anger of the 1960's into the 1970's--a time when all Americans are rethinking the country's future. Lee Bennett Hopkins has used poetry with people of many backgrounds and ages from pre-school children to adults. The poems selected for this volume are those that have evoked special feelings from a vast number of audiences throughout America. As Augusta Baker states in her Introduction: 'We are black, we are proud, and we are on our way.'"--Front flyleaf.
