House Editorial
In a few weeks, poet Amiri Baraka will speak in Wilson Hall. Along with
his appearance will come gripes and cries that his poetry is anti-Semitic,
racist and unfavorable to the JMU audience.
Ignored Africa must be helped
Through Murky Waters
Once, Africa’s foreboding jungles and mysterious interior earned
it the title of "the dark continent." After centuries of colonialism
and exploration, Africa’s mysteries have been penetrated, but it
has lagged far behind the rest of the world in economic and political
development. Now, more than ever, Africa is "the dark continent"
— cut off from Europe, Asia and North America by its dark, looming
specter of instability.
