Scattered Thoughts, Random Musings

It's the last day of February and I hope you've enjoyed the poems. I end this month with another one of my many favorites. "Oh God, at last, I ain't gotta run no more..." -"So I Run" performed by Will Bell    Celebrate and remember Black History month--every month!

One of my favorite poems that is raw and provocative yet beautifully performed... "Here we are centuries after slavery, insulting our ancestors bravery by shouting phrases daily like..." -"Niggers Niggas & Niggaz" performed by Julian Curry  

"In 1804, Haiti was the first black country to get it's independence." -"Immigrant" performed by Wyclef Jean

Everyone has a past and history worth remembering... Black History month is a time for recollection and appreciation. Though one month is never enough to absorb such an intricate past, it's a still an important time for us to pause and take a moment to remember our history. Every Friday this month, I'll be celebrating Black History through the power of spoken word. Poetry has always had a special place in my heart and I wanted to use it to celebrate our past. "I re-read my history and I remembered me." -"White" performed by Nafessa Monroe   (If you are having trouble viewing this video via Explorer, please try another browser.)
