I don't care

I don't care if they stare

and call us names.

It's worth the fight

to every night

sleep next to you.

My family may cast me out

and skinheads may scream and shout-like pouring water on a goose.

Coz what matters to me

is to share my life with Thee,

and raise a family of our own.

Black is Beautiful Week, in February 1970, was heralded with a dance and beauty pageant sponsored by the Black Student Council.

Delois Kelley, a 22-year-old senior, was crowned Miss BSC.
Various cultural events were featured during that week, including dance groups, bongo players, art shows and a costume design contest.

Rounding out the week, LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka), noted African-American poet and playwright, read some of his poems and the Spirit House Movers performed two plays.
