This is Not My Country! by Martin Moore This country is not of me, because it has prostituted democracy. I lieeird tlie bells of Greedom rini;; but that did not mean a tiling. Our Freali White Fatliers, authors of Lilierty: yet tliey never wrote for me. On every American mountainside; just too many Black men have died. O ' beautiful, for spacious sky: still beneath you, my lirotlier die. Land of the Pilgrim ' s pride; land where white racism thrives. O ' Black brother lift Thy voice and sing; O ' Black brotlier lift Thy sword and swing. When courage flows in your veins; go out and make your enemies as lains. For us to live another day and night; we must all join in this fight. My country lis of Thee; suppression and misery. For the love of God and tlie love of Man; Brother of Black take your stand. ; . A nd from sea to shining sea, let thy mighty Black Struggle be! . ' li ' tl

Dedication No death is wholly natural, and no one dies merely of the burdens of the years — when thex die there is always left the memories of their presence. Two wonderful men have died and left us honors to remember them by. Their endless cooperation and assistance in working with the school can never he tor- gotten. Let us stop to pause for a few minutes at the dehumanization of the end of life, both for those who died and for those who live on and to the befogging of the minds of these two intelligent men whom we owe respect and honor. We. the 1972 Ayantee staff, dedicate this edition in memory of Dr. F. Wil- liams and Mr. E. Corbett.
