’The Black Poets, ’
a new book, written
An original black poetry anthology, with poems that reflect the struggle of blacks in America from slavery to the 70’s, was published Dec. l,by Bantam Books. THE BLACK POETS, edited by Dudley Kandall, an accomplished poet in his own right, represents the work of almost 50 poets, including Robe r t Hayden, Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, LeRoi Jones, Sonia Sanchez, Nikki Giovanni, and Ishmale Reed. Editor Randall, founder and director of t h e Broadside Press and poet-in-residence at the University of Detroit, writes in h 1 s Introduction: "Not only does this book present the full range of black poetry, trotn the slave songs to the present day , but It presents (post poets In depth, and In some cases presents aspects of a poet neglected or overlooktU before," Randall traces the development of black poetry from the first literary black poets who "tried to write as whites for a white audience," through their "emanelpation from white literary models and crltiee" to ereation of what Randall believes is "truly original poetry," "This turning away from white irlodtls and returlng to their roots has freed black poets to create a new poetry. This book records their progress. They nO longer imi-
tate white models strain toward white magazines, defer to whie critics, or court white readers. They are in the process of creating a new literature. Whatever the outcome, they are taking care of business." Other Bantam Original poetry anthologies include: THE VOICE T H A T IS GREAT WITHIN US, edited by Hayden Carruth; MODERN EUROPEAN POETRY, edited by Wiliis barnstoner FIFTY GREAT POETS, edited by Milton Crane; THE POEtRY OF ROCK, edited by Richard Goldstein, and THE POETRY OF SOUL, edited by A.X.

THE INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER p/^Q£ <(3 SATURDAY. JANUARY 8. 1972
(EDITOR'S NOTE: The following article appeared In the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. Fran Walker Is a native of Indianapolis and grew up on the eastside attending School 26. Her father, Edward Braham, is a life-long resident of Indianapolis and still resides on the eastside. Recently she cut the first television commercial for Summit Laboratories of Indianapolis advertising their new Afrylic Wigs, created especially for the black woman. The spot is aired daily in the "Fran Walker Show." Don Dilllon, prior to being general manager of Station WPTA—TV, was program director at WTTV-TV, which is its sister station. She is hoping that from the story printing in The Recorder some of her old classmates will recognize and contact her at Fort Wayne.): *** FORT WAYNE When WPTA - TV’s Fran Walker told the station’s general manager, Don Dilllon, to make her a star, she was only joking, but Dillion took his pretty receptionist seriously and today Fran is hostess of her own program five days a week. Fran had been the station’s receptionist for two years when Dilllon told her that he thought having a black woman at the front desk smacked of tokenism. "Well, If you don’t like me sitting out here," Fran cracked, "make me a star." So Fran cut an audition tape and found herself giving the community calendar each morning on Howard Dorsey’s "A.M. Show," and after cohosting "Second Cup" with Dan Nolan was given her own program in January. Although she had no broadcasting experience, the petite Indianapolis native kept her wits about her when she began her television career with the community calendar. "I didn’t find It too frlght-
and interviews with people from all walks of life. Fran called her talk with actor Vincent Price "my prize interview because he is a famous person and he was so * warm and friendly and beautiful and I had expected him to be a snob... "He just wasn't like that at all. He just talked and talked and talked to everyone." Asked how .she feels about being the first black woman to host her own daily program in the Fort Wayne area, Fran became serious, leaned back in her black leather swivel chair and began thoughtfully, "It’s an accomplishment.” "First of all, this is the reason I plunged into the challenge. I felt that by getting a foot in the door it would provide a way for other blacks to seek work in this field... “As a black woman I feel that I have been very well received by the public. My public ha s been very beautiful...They're great... "I feel that black women, are very good in this capacity, but a lot depends on the station’s attitude as far as promoting them and motivating them. "You have to promote anyone who is on the air. People make the mistake of thinking that if they let a person think he is too good, he might step out of line; but I feel people need motivation for them to keep striving." Hosting a public service show such as her own, Fran related, is a rather insecure business as this type of program is required by the Federal Communications Commission. "They can take it off the air or move It around, one way or another." Although Fran poolnted out emphatically that she has no aspirations toward a network program, "I would like to get a bit of broadcasting education under my belt as long as
I’m in broadcasting,’’ and she .added a bit more timidly, "I would like a half-hour show, say around noon. I don’t think I’d like an hour show, but this would give me a feeling of accomplishment. "I’ve always been the kind that wanted to do more and say, ‘Look. See. I am somebody.’ I feel like everyone should think of themselves as somebody and believe in trying anything once. Let me try and fail, but at least let me try." As to her lack of training in the field of broadcasting, Fran commented, "I don’t think you really need background or education. Just liking people and being interested in things that are going on is the key. "I like meeting new people. That's the main thing I like about my job ... and there’s always something different going on in broadcasting. It’s not routine. "But television is such an unsure profession," she noted. "If your ratings are bad you get knocked off the air." Fran’s husband, Bill, retired after 20 years with the Air Force and is now employed at International Harvester Co., is proud of his wife’s accomplishments, although he manages to do a good job of hiding it," she laughed. "He’s proud of me, but he enjoys telling other people moreso than he enjoys telling me because he thinks it might go to my head," she said smil- , ing. ' But Fran’^ personable manner and her genuine Interest in people are statement enough that her Job hasn't gone to her head, and they are also proof that, aside from her husband and her 18-year-old daughter, he work is Just about the most Important thing In her life. /'If you’re, going to work and you like working you might as well l>e doing something you enjoy, " she reasoned. "The job makes me enjoy getting up in the morning."
