Are you sure this is not a question in the context of a particular poem?
Clifton is a great writer.
One of my favorites by Lucille Clifton:
dear jesse helms
something is happening.
something obscene.
in the night sky
the stars are bursting
into flame. thousands
and thousand of lights
are pouring down onto
the children of allah,
and jesse,
the smart bombs do not recognize
the babies. something
is happening obscene.
they are shrouding words so that
families cannot find them.
civilian deaths have become
collateral damage, bullets
are anti-personnel. jesse,
the fear is anti-personnel.
jesse, the hate is anti-personnel.
jesse, the war is anti-personnel,
and something awful is happening.
something obscene.

I honestly don't know, I have heard of them but never in a public light, it would be interesting to know what happened to them.
