'Requiem for Negro Week': Mrs. Sylvia Holman, helping teacher at Mack Elementary School, looks over her display entitled: 'Requiem to Negro Week," which supports the continuous incorporation of the black man into the curriculum. The poem reads, "The Black man is American. I say. He is not to be presented on display. If he has to be on the spot; we will all die, decay and rot. He is a citizen just like the Whites. He does not need special rites. The rights he needs are like the other, make him your friend, your neighbor, your brother. If he has a Negro Week, fifty-one weeks will be bleak. He is here year around, this makes sense, this is sound. The Black man is American. I say. He will be American everyday."
