The former president’s visit to Tulsa woke up a great many Americans from different cultures of the historical ill-fated event that many had never heard of before. One person who did not need educating about the event was Paul S. Hickman. He was taught his Negro history in his all-African school system until 1970 in Oklahoma, and his African teachers made sure that he was aware of his history.
In Days Gone By, Paul’s poems provide the reader some words to process in a manner that helps to plow through the daily chores of yesteryear until today, reflecting on the days gone by, in particular what was taken for granted. The poems are rich in historical events of his life and are spiritually titillating.
