Overview
Poet, playwright, novelist, graduate of DeWitt Clinton High, New York University, and Harvard University, Countee Cullen (1903-1946) emerged as a leading literary figure of the Harlem Renaissance. Color (1925), his first published book of poetry, confronts head-on what W.E.B. DuBois called "the problem of the 20th century-the problem of the color line." The work includes 72 poems, such as the following: Incident (For Eric Walrond)Once riding in old Baltimore, Heart-filled, head-filled with glee,I saw a Baltimorean Keep looking straight at me.Now I was eight and very small, And he was no whit bigger,And so I smiled, but he poked out His tongue, and called me, "Nigger."I saw the whole of Baltimore From May until December;Of all the things that happened there That's all that I remember.
