I could talk about teen-age pregnancy, about poverty, ignorance and enslavement and how the white power structure had imposed it—only because I was a black female. I mean, black people would have eaten up a white male who said what I did.”

And man a singing wind;
And from her branches carelessly
He takes what he can find.”
