Poetry moves the heart and, frankly, just says what needs to be said and heard! Poets are essential members of every community. Black poets are also great story tellers and social activists. Today we honor their work and legacy. Listen to Gran’Daddy Junebug recite “sto-etry” by great poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872 – 1906). Also, watch National Poet Laureate, Amanda Gorman, recite her iconic poem, The Hill We Climb. Have you heard the great poetry of Tupac Shakur? Listen here! Do you write poetry? We would love to read it! Send it to us at team@espressotalktoday.com.
