I sell a lot of Kwame's books at work. This is the first one I have bought for myself, but not the last. I will be getting more, reading them, and then donating them to my teacher friends for their classroom libraries.
This is a small in size but huge in power book. It is three poems. Three cries for justice. Three responses to the violence inflicted upon Black lives. Three reminders that we aren't living in a post racial society. Three arrows to the heart that land with so much strength.
Names to say.
Words to remind.
BLACK LIVES MATTER.
I will go back and read this often.
