Dear Professor Coates:

    Allow me to introduce myself, I am Napoleon Brown, the son of the
late 
singer-songwriter
Oscar Brown, Jr.  I do not know if you are familiar with the artist or
any of 
his works, but I'd
like to take a moment to pass along some information so that you might

introduce a few of
his accomplishments to your students at Miami (Ohio) during "Black
History" 
month.  The
artist was considered a profound poet, appearing on HBO's Def Poetry
Jam, a 
playwright and a cultural activist.  Attached is his biographical
information 
for your consideration.
Thank you!

Respectfully,
Napoleon Brown
