African-American poet (1903–1946) who came to prominence during the Harlem Renaissance. Handwritten poem on a beige 8.5 x 11 sheet. Cullen writes a poem, “To Walter White,” in full: "Is there, indeed, no greater love, Than that a man lay down his life? How easily we all were heroes then. Or benefactors to our fellowmen! For such small things—the scantest, least thereof, Can end the dissonance, the fret, and strife? Yet if we live, and hold the odds at bay? Oh, surely yours has been the harder way!" In fine condition, with light toning and mounting remnants to the reverse of the top right corner, and marginal binding holes to the left edge.
