The first thought that pops up in my mind for this "The Antique Blacks" title was discrimination. Not
surprisingly, this is a poem about Blacks that want to go on the space ship. My part that is giving is on pages 135 that last stanza, the author uses "black-masked" and "scrambling burglars" to show that it is a label that has been tag on the Blacks for ever. The author has mentioned "before Guion S. Bluford confirmed space sounds the same as Indiana at night only without the black-masked and scrambling burglars." From my opinion the author is comparing the Blacks to the Indians, he is telling us that they're the same but the difference between them is the skin color and the "label" that has been tag on forever.
