Greetings, One of the poems I wrote which is considered my signature piece is entitled LORD, WHY DID YOU MAKE ME BLACK. It is not The Black Prayer or Why Did God Make Me Black or Why Am I Black, God. those are adaptations of the poem I wrote back in 1994. It is not posted here because it is available for sale in a chapbook, on poster and a children's version is available in a coloring book. Please reach out to me via Facebook or runett.ebo101gmail for more information.

Good afternoon. Ms. Ebo. May a publish your poem " Lord, why did You Make Me Black, " in the December 2020 edition DRUM, a newspaper that celebrates black achievements in Berks County, PA?

Are you the author of " Why Did God Make Me Black" ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Why isn't " Why did God Make Me Black" here?

My absolute favorite poem of yours, it was the first one I read: “Lord, Why did you make me Black! ” I found it and read it last year at a Black History Month program; the audience, the mixed audience, all loved it! ! ! Beautiful words that captures the emotions. While I can relate to the questions asked, I LOVE God’s answer... reminding us that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made”, made in his image.

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL ! ! ! MANY MORE BLESSINGS TO YOU 😍🙏

Hello and thank you. Unfortunately, if the poem is entitled The Black Prayer (that is the title the picture of the little girl is attached to) it is a pirated copy of mine. The one I wrote entitled Lord, Why Did You Make Me Black is posted on my Poet-ify page on facebook in case anyone is interested. Thank you for the kind words. The coloring book is coming soon this year.

I love your poem and I love the painting that was posted with it. I’d love to credit the artist. Can you send a link?

I have searched for this poem for a while, just saw it posted on FB, thank you

Your poem Lord Why Did You Make Me Black? Is a cultural classic of black literature. Thank you for writing it and sharing it with the world. I believe that all black people need to read this poem, especially our children and those of us who hate being black. Whenever I see black people, I always see beauty. I'm posting your poem on my facebook page with your name. Peace and blessings, Valerie Orr
