O knihe

If you only enjoy "roses are red, violets are blue" and sugar sweet poetry, this is no book for you. Cry Freedom is a down-to-earth volume that quivers with the harshness of reality and the cynicism and social injustices of modern life. Uppermost among those elements suffering from social, economic and legal wrongs is the plight of the black man, and other minorities.

That is the subject which is of concern to the authors. They are mortified by their lack of human rights, the chains that have bound them and have caused psychological aberrations, by the prejudice that has stultified their opportunities in a white man's society. Their concern can be seen in many of the poem titles, such as "Of What Was I Robbed?", "Vision of Freedom," "Skin Deep," "Don't Bring Back Slavery," "My Coat" and "Let My People Go!" Africa is Dying and I'sms. There is a timeliness, a pressing urgency to these stark creations.

Each one of these poems is a step in the direction of understanding, maturity and liberation! They are carefully wrought and will stand as a beacon of truth and hope for all minorities and underprivileged, as well as for all thinking Americans who believe in fair play, justice and the fight to liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
