Blacks have fought hard over the years to get the labels of black, ``colored'' and ``negro'' in the upper case, but the print media won't accept it, the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet said Friday at a luncheon in Salt Lake City.
Writers Guild of America posthumously gave blacklisted screenwriter Michael Wilson co-writing credit for ``Lawrence of Arabia.'' Robert Bolt had sole credit before Friday's announcement.
Wilson was blacklisted after appearing before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1951 and refusing to affirm or deny past membership in the Communist Party.
