Jean-Paul Sartre has said that Negro poetry is "the true revolutionary poetry" of the time, something that transcends race alone. Richard Wright, the father of the black novel, laid claim to "a right more immediately deep er than that of politics or race . . . .that is, a human right, the right of a man to think and feel honestly." In Chicago, a mural on a ghetto wall glowers and glows at passersby in pride and in challenge. Or, hear Owen Dodson...

Three weeks ago, Chairman Henry Ford II fired Knudsen, telling him that "things just didn't work out." Last week Johnston, 44, a top salesman whom Knud sen had made marketing manager of the Lincoln-Mercury division, resigned in protest over the dismissal...
...full of details: The Kings' eldest daughter Yolanda explaining at school that her daddy "goes to jail to help people"; the awed Martin Luther King Sr. listening to his son preach in London's St. Paul's Cathedral and whispering what he would have shouted right out in church at home-"Make it plain, son, make it plain"; Martin as a boy beginning his stoic endurance of punishment by refusing to shed a tear during whippings administered by his father for disobedience...
