#BlackPoetsSpeakOut

Black poets speak out. 

Here is a roundup of the poems on a site with links to the work: Cultural Front.

Each video of a poem starts with "I am a black poet who will not remain silent while this nation murders black people. I have a right to be angry." 

Here is Jericho Brown's poem. He was one of the people who started the hashtag.


And Danez Smith.



And a great one from Douglas Kearney and then this one of Khadijah Queen reading a poem by Harryette Mullen with powerful video accompaniment.
