To celebrate Black History Month, Barbara Stroman performed "In The Morning". A poem written by Paul Laurence Dunbar, the first African American poet to gain national recognition. Stroman, who has performed the poem in a number of churches and will perform it again on Sunday, is pictured at St. Peters in Hamlet. Stroman said she learned the poem over 40 years ago and it never completely left her memory.

You know, I have been guilty of thinking that some of the black heros or wroters were created to satisfy a need, but after reading this article I logged onto his historical web site and I was amazed at the number of and the quality of his poems, I throughly enjoyed reading the poem that this lady is going to read to her church, it was awesome and a little difficult to read but it was wonderful.

Read it, you will like it too.
