FORWARD To thy own Black-self be true: The Beginning of an “Era of Blackness;” is a wash-off of the Western Cosmetic Nigger. The end of weekend Afros, the beginning of every day Dashikis. The end of scared colored folks, awaken to the “Truth” of a beautiful people with soul. The end of Black suppression, the beginning of Black smiles and pretty white teeth. The end of bondage, the beginning of labor as a Black man. The beginning of Black liberation and the building of a proud man cleansed of pretty white thoughts. The end of the days of what do you want boy? The beginning of let’s go Brother and what’s happening now Sister. The end of regis¬ tration, the Beginning of Black legislation. The end of break¬ throughs, the beginning of Black leadership. The beginning of joining, the act of creating. The end of the dark ages, the beginning of the Black age of brotherhood, survival, power and getting it together. Truly the end of the unwanted col¬ ored people; but the beginning of wanted Black people to relieve tired old colored folks. Now it s the beginning of the end of the beginning. Robert E. Booker Co-Editor Tiger ’72 5
