| | Synopsis
|
An ode to Black American triumph and tribulation. Originally
performed for ESPN's The Undefeated, this poem is a love letter to
Black life in the United States. It highlights the unspeakable trauma
of slavery, the faith and fire of the civil rights movement, and the
grit, passion, and perseverance of some of the world's greatest
heroes. The text is also peppered with references to the words of
Martin Luther King, Jr., Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, and
others, offering deeper insights into the accomplishments of the
past, while bringing stark attention to the endurance and spirit of
those surviving and thriving in the present. Historical information
at the end provides historical context and additional detail for
those wishing to learn more.
