A Dream of Dirt

A Poem: A Dream of Dirt

By Jamie Monty

Once it’s warm enough, I can’t wait to lay in a pile of dirt

Isn’t that weird

And to smell that smelly smell

Of strong

Spring

I can hear a bird outside my window

He’s probably freezing

A story “Mad Men” overlooked: Caroline R. Jones, who spearheaded advertising that changed how Americans thought about some of the world’s most popular brands.

Jones built a trailblazing career as an advertising executive, starting as a copywriter in the early 1960s and eventually founding multiple firms. Her clients included American Express, the National Urban League and Kentucky Fried Chicken (her agency developed the slogan “We Do Chicken Right!”).

Throughout her career, Jones struggled against the assumption that her ads should only address African American consumers. Many times her targeted ad campaigns were so successful that companies used them for national work—but, in one case, replaced African American figures with white models.

Jones died in 2001, but her story lives on through items of hers at our National Museum of American History. More about her life on their blog.
