FINANCIAL SUPPORTERS OF CALLALOO

When we first conceived the idea of this non-profit journal, we thought it was possi- ble for us to defray the publication costs ourselves. But the stark reality of inflation, with resulting high costs of printing, mailing, supplies, etc., made us realize that such an ambitious effort was impossible. We, then, decided to seek financial assistance from in- dividuals and organizations for support (patrons, $100.00; benefactors, $50.00; contrib- utors, $25.00). The response to our request was good. And we are very grateful to those individuals for their interest in and support of this non-profit Black South community project, for without their assistance the publication of the first issue of Callaloo would never have been possible. We are especially grateful to the University of Kentucky, Kentucky Humanities Council, and the Coordinating Council of Literary Magazines for their generous support, the major financial source for the continuation of Callaloo.
