Is this the same Karen Alexander Solomon from SUNY New Palz? If so, we'd love to touch base with you again!
Dear George C. Wolfe:
Harlem Song was wonderful. I was shocked to hear a part of a song "Negroes are tired of not seeing themselves."
I used this sentence in an article I wrote for the Oswegonian, the SUNY at Oswego newspaper, in 1966. I am curious to know if the sentence was taken from that article, or did someone else coin this. I read many Black authors at the time. Hopefully, I didn't take it from another author without giving credit.
Your response would be greatly appreciated.
Karen Alexander Solomon
