Alvin L.A. Horn
Alvin Lloyd Alexander Horn has lived and breathed the Northwest air and floated in all the nearby rivers streams leading the Pacific Ocean. As in the writings of Hemmingway, and poetry of Langston Hughes, and novels of Walter Mosley their writings are all the byproduct of their youthful environments and travels. Alvin’s African American experiences in his Emerald City background shines through in his poetry, short stories and novels.
I’m proud of Colin Kaepernick and I’m proud that the majority of people of Color are supporting him. One of the reasons people of color offer support is we see that the privileged speak so ill of his rights, instead wanting him to act submissive.
