You call me your N----r and then write a piece like this....extolling the virtues of Beah Richards. Again your work displays a form of hypocrisy that is quite tasteless. Beah was light years ahead of her time...a proud and strong black woman who was an accomplished actress, poet and playwright. I remember seeing her as a kid in âGuess Whose Coming to Dinnerâ. She was class and dignity personified. Anyway, I can see you tried to capture her essence hereâ¦but in the end you fell well short of your mark. In particular, I found your statement about her voice (â the purist colored voiceâ) awkward and ill conceived. You are capable of doing much better than this. â6- on technical meritâ¦..8 on heartfelt emotionâ¦..-7- overall
