haste of meeting deadlines for the November 1968 and February 1969
issues . The most serious error was made in the November 1968 issue
when the name of the author of a "Focus" profile, Mrs . Clyde (Nellie)
Bonner of San Francisco, was not published along with her article .
The article, "She Lit A Candle," described the career of a prominent
educator, Miss Ida L . Jackson, now retired and living in California .
As a result of the omission of Mrs . Bonner's by-line, her article also
was not mentioned in the Table of Contents for the November 1968
issue of the magazine nor in the annual Index which also appeared in
that issue . The less serious error was similar in nature . The name of
Dudley Randall, well-known poet and publisher (Broadside Press),
was not listed at the end of his review of the book, The Algiers Motel
Incident, as is customary . We term this error "less serious" not because
it was less careless on our part but because, as a regular contributor
to NEGRO DIGEST, Mr. Randall's by-line is more familiar to
NEGRO DIGEST readers . We regret both errors.-TxE EDITORS
