SOUNDS OF BLACKNESS: ONE HEART, MANY VOICES
Remember You Were Born
For Resilience ...
Holding On To A Shared History
And Carrying Songs
Sung Across Generations
Of Kitchen Tables And Church Pews
Remember That Presence
And Power ...
Passed Down From All Those
Who Have Come Before Us -
Reminding Us There Is Nothing
We Can’t Be, Dream, Or Do
Together
