I'm horrible at remembering names with faces...
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that's Frederick Douglas on the end there.
I better quit while I'm ahead! ;)
And I think Ann Clay is there, too! :)

Lol Cindy!
ReplyDeleteIs the first person Angela Benson, then there is Gwendolyn Brooks, the third person is it Jacqueline Thomass and the last person is of course Frederick Douglass.

Congrats Candace.
ReplyDeleteThis contest has be real embarassed because I can only recognize the older authors. Notice I didn't even try last week. This week James Baldwin and Phyllis Bourne Williams (since she is the featured author). You are good girlfriend.
Don't feel badly Connie. I'm in the same boat! I struggled last week trying to come up with the 4th name (Bettye Griffin). Even went searching around the net. The first three were a breeze. This week, beyond James Baldwin, I'm definitely challenged. But this is good.

Okay. I give. I must have googled over 100 sista writers yesterday trying to identify the last picture. Couldn't find her. Didn't know there were so many of us. Definitely need to expand my reading list.
