Readers probably know "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," Hughes' first published poem for adult readers in a national venue.
But do you know Bennett's first published poem, "Heritage"?
"I want to feel the surging
Of my sad people's soul
Hidden by a minstrel-smile."

Thank you for the input! Yes, I know Jack as we were in the same panel a few years ago! I totally understand the difficulty in having a DH course through curriculum committee. I have the same issue at the state level. As many 4yr unis have DH courses, I am trying to give another shot.
