probation of the poets in our group.
nave never assumed the role of
adviser or preacher to the Colored
people of America" says Prof. Ker-
lin. but I am impelled to make an
exception for once--in worthy
cause. Are you as a race supporting
your poets? You are getting togeth-
er manfully in business, in politics
in labor. in education, in charitabie
ana religious works. Racial conscious
ness is strongly asserting itself thru
out the whole domain of your life
SwI NTH this one exception. You do not

ing to let them furnish you the very
oread OF life while you permit them

tence. Is this right- Is it wise?
Your poets are your prophets. To-
day they have a flaming message.
Ihsy are embodying your ideals. your
asterihgs tests in soy your PRAYERS your pro
theirs-your cry; theirs are the arti-
culation of It, Now no cause is great
ly effective until the poets champion
IL The poets have winged words,
of men. They burn their way into
our inmost thoughts Poets are more
to be dreaded by the forces of evil
and injustice and oppression than po-
liticians, yet even than preachers;
for the true poet is, / repeat, a pro-
phet, messenger of God.
you have a dozen very able young
song makers whose poems your news
papers get L understand, without
cost.
How are ye better than the gem
tiles Il We thus rob your poets? Sup
port them. l say, they are a supreme
honor to you as a people and not
only that; they are your ablest
spokesmen, your heaven-sent SER
wants. Give them for their service
at least the means of subsistence.
Buy their heavenly ware with your
miserable filthy lucre."
