E. B. Du Bois, Naomi Long Madgett, Owen Dodson, Gordon Heath, and others who fostered her involvement in the Black Arts Movement, both in Britain and the United States. Though Pool was often cast as an outsider-one poet was amazed that "e;"e;one so removed"e;"e; was interested in the Black cause-she saw herself as part of a transatlantic struggle against oppression. For Pool, the "e;"e;yellow Jew stars"e;"e; the Nazis forced her to wear "e;"e;were our darker skins."e;"e;Rosey E. Pools life allows Lonneke Geerlings to explore intersections of European and American history.
