put my Children on the land
my children will blossom
and feed this land
and care for people
and be plenty
During the Black History Month and beyond (cuz face it, every month deserves Black History), this blog will honor people who demonstrated critical elements of the Black / African experience with commemorative poems. This poem pays homage to anti-colonial pro-African leaders-of-nation, such as Mandela, Tutu, Nkrumah, Nyerere, Lumumba, Nasser, Gdaffi, Sankara, and Kwando.
