matchless beauty
history so strong cord folded over seven times
character so rich Solomon seeks wisdom
supernova smiles
feet crossed terrains flat and rocky
blues and browns and reds and yellows of every hue imaginable
standing on shoulders and promises
rise
During Black History Month, this blog will honor people who demonstrated critical elements of the Black / African experience with commemorative poems. This poem draws inspiration from Stephen Bantu Biko, anti-apartheid revolutionary and Black consciousness advocate, who reminded us all that Black is Beautiful
