“I am an American Black. Period. Afro-American, African-American, whatever, I am not a hyphenated American, regardless of how others define themselves. They can be Italian Americans, Irish-Americans, Jewish-Americans, or whatever hyphens they would like to use. For me the noun is Black; American in the adjective.”
