Ethelbert Miller is a globally recognized and published poet, board chair of the Institute for Policy Studies and, until today (I suppose), was Director of the African American Resource Center at Howard University. Ethelbert and I often swapped blog content and posts. He was one of the inspirations and mentors for this blog.
