U.S.A.: Penguin, 1993. Preface by Sondra Kathryn Wilson. Celebratory poems of black life and achievement - and uncompromising indictments of racial injustice - by a leading figure of the Harlem Renaissance. This book is an exhortation to loose the bonds of dreary second-class citizenship and humiliating segregation and devastating racism. The lyrics bid the reader to be free, to walk with gratitude over ground red with the blood of our ancestors; encourages us to be free to bid the day good morning with our hopeful heart, to adore the Creator with gladsome hearts for the battles won and to ask of that same Creator for strength for the battles yet to come.
