Friends, Judith and Eleni, circa 1967
A poem by Eleni Yamada, Judith's friend.

When I met Judi,
I was 21
Her face was radiant with love.
Her boyfriend was Jewish, mine was Japanese.
We were Americans,
at least I had just become one.
Judi was
Black and beautiful!
Grew up in Oak Park.
The four of us kept company; what a team!
Soon came news
Of a baby to be...
We all went to the
country for a day trip and stopped at a cafe to eat and drink.
The owner waved us away.
I didn't understand
Judi with big belly walked out first!
She didn't pay no mind because she knew
A "golden child"
was to be born.
