AND THOSE UNNAMED

THE COUNTLESS SLAINED,

BLACK HISTORY IS YOU, BLACK HISTORY IS ME,

WE RECLAIM THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT THAT BLACK HISTORY IS LOVE, AND LOVE

BLACK HISTORY MOST BE TOLD, IT MUST NEVER BE FORGOTTEN

WE ARE LIVING THE AFTER LIFE OF THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE,

THEIR STORY MUST BE TOLD THROUGH OUR LIVING,

BLACK HISTORY IS MY STORY

BLACK HISTORY IS YOUR STORY

BLACK HISTORY IS OUR STORY.

Thank you. I do toast to transcending the mistakes from the past. I am gracious to receive such a compliment from such an amazing poet. I enjoy reading your work!

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
