Don't Forget To Remember

By Kahlen Aymes, Faye D. Wilson, Ray E. Wilson

This book of poems, prose, and rythmic expressions represents among other events two Black writers' reflections, as eye witnesses, of the scope of America's transition from a segregated rural society to a color blind one in their later years. the most compelling aspect of writing this book was the one-to-one correspondence of agreement between the writers' interpretation and perspectives for history as it might relate to these poems and expressions. the childhood life in Texas of Ray and Faye was emerged in segregation almost everywhere. Segregation was the law of the land in Texas. Yet, in the country and small towns, minorities could propagate a fruitful life, and livelihood. during the segregation transition and in search for better education and jobs, many young Black persons moved from the country side to the city. Notwithstanding the two Black writers contend that sooner or later more people of all colors will seek to return to the country for living. An underlying premise in writing this book has been to let fact be primary and rhyme secondary. Thus, the writers' intent was never to substitute rhyme for fact, but fact for rhyme where necessary.
