I'M SO ASHAMED TO SAY THAT I DIDN'T KNOW HER OR OF HER WORK..

Poet Vivian Ayers Allen has been claimed by the wicked one, satan's concubine/Almighty..
She was 102-years-old. Amazing!..
She was a mighty writer & poet yet most of us on this board probably never heard of Vivian Ayers Allen..
She was the mother of dancer/producer Debbie Allen & Phylicia Rashad of the Cosby Show..
MAY VIVIAN AYERS ALLEN REST IN PEACE IN A WONDERFUL ARTSY HEAVEN. AMEN

Signed: now why would satan's concubine/Almighty claim such a wonderful elder at 102 yrs old? How evil is this demon, eh?...grimreaper

Mr GM read her Wikipedia page and he's quite impressed! She was truly a poet warrior with a complete artistic sensibility in the ole negro sense of self.
Sadly, once again, most Black folks - about 99.9% - don't know or ever heard of poet Vivian Ayers Allen.
