[William A. Baurle]

If you don't want to read the poem (it runs to 100 pages in Spenserian stanza), that's fine, but at least read the dedicatory address. Why is it, when Black History Month comes around, I hear plenty about George Washington Carver, every year, but I never hear anything about this man?

Even without the poem, that address ought to have ensured that this man's name would be honored far more than it has been.
