Poem "A Letter to Good Hair"
Dublin Core
Title
Poem "A Letter to Good Hair"
Description
This poem, narrated by "the slave's dream and hope," attacks the idea of "good hair" as a superior, more acceptable alternative to natural black hair. It asserts that good hair should have been left on the plantations, and compares it to the song "Dixie."
