Please give a generous donation for the memorial for Journal of Black Poetry Publisher/Editor Digane Jose Goncalves

Left to right Dingane Jose Goncalves, Publisher and Editor of the Journal of Black Poetry. On right his brother Ted Goncalves. The Journal of Black Poetry was the Bible of the 60s Pan African Poetry Revolution. Guest Editors included Haki Madhubuti, Askia Toure, Marvin X et al. Kalamu ya Salaam wrote, "Playwright Ed Bullins and poet Marvin X had established Black Arts West, and Dingane Joe Goncalves had founded the Journal of Black Poetry (1966). This grouping of Ed Bullins, Dingane Joe Goncalves, LeRoi Jones, Sonia Sanchez, Askia M. Touré, and Marvin X became a major nucleus of Black Arts leadership." Nikki Giovanni's first published poem appeared in the Journal of Black Poetry. If you were a Black poet in the 60s, no matter from America, Africa, the Caribbean or Asia, you were welcome to publish in the Journal of Black Poetry. Only Black World Magazine had a wider circulation but it didn't match the number of poets published in JBP. Thank you Dingae Jose Goncalves, you Cape Verde, Boston African!
