Here you will find thePoemThe Mulatto to His Criticsof poet Joseph Seamon Cotter
Ashamed of my race? And of what race an I? I am many in one. Thru my veins runs the blood Of Red Man, Black Man, Briton, Celt and Scot, In warring clash and tumultuous riot. I welcome all, But love the blood of the kindly race That swarthes my skin, crinkles my hair, And puts sweet music into my soul.
