Excerpt
This is an attempt to poetically speak history, Black History, into the lives of those who dare to understand the plight of Black people in America or to grasp the reality that they confront daily. Black life is rooted in traditions that go way back to Africa. There’s music in this history. There’s artistry. There’s intellect. There’s so much creativity. Most importantly, there is power in knowing this history.
