"BLK History Month" by Nikki Giovanni

Happy Black History Month! For the month of February I will feature Black poets only, starting with a shero of mine: Nikki Giovanni.

BLK History Month
by Nikki Giovanni

If Black History Month is not
viable then wind does not
carry the seeds and drop them
on fertile ground
rain does not
dampen the land
and encourage the seeds
to root
sun does not
warm the earth
and kiss the seedlings
and tell them plain:
You’re As Good As Anybody Else
You’ve Got A Place Here, Too





Read, listen, share, create, and be on watch.
