There are a few of us now. Besides me and Luz, there are new friends and colleagues floating around “behind the scenes” here @ #njpoet. We’ve been emailing, chatting, texting, plotting…
Heh. Heh.
Thank you to everyone who helps me do what I do. You are all family to me.
And to everyone who retweets, reposts, likes, shares, and consistently reads along,
you make my surreal life concretely awesome.
TY. TY. TY.
Bring on 2013!
Wait! Is that a comet in the sky?!
Just kidding… 2012 joke…
Rutgers University’s most distinguished alumnus was born April 9, 1898, at Princeton. Paul Bustill Robeson was a man of many talents: scholar, actor, lawyer, singer and athlete. He received world acclaim for performances in Othello, The Emperor Jones, Show Boat and many others. Robeson was the first black football player at Rutgers and a two time All-American. But, even more than that, Robeson was a leader in the movement against racial discrimination. Robeson was the first black man to be valedictorian of his graduating class. He was also the recipient of numerous honors throughout his life, including the Springarn Medal of the NAACP, the Stalin Peace Prize in 1952, which also (1958), the Abraham Lincoln Medal, the Donaldson Award for “the best acting performance in 1944″ and the 1944 Gold Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Robeson also was named an honorary professor at the Moscow Conservatory of Music.
Paul Robeson Campus Center is the heart of student life through its many student organizations and boards, venues for performances and conferences, free public art galleries, and leadership programs. And it wouldn’t be a student center without its lounge, game room, Raider Mart convenience store, and eateries.
This song is for my mom,
because she’s been worried about me,
far too long.
