The Norton Anthology of Poetry: Full Fifth Edition | 
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 2019 - It‘s a difficult time when we must think of legacies who are gone far too soon before their work is done. I thank MLK for saying “yes” to being chosen as a guiding light & envisioning what a committed people can do. However, as we know there were many voices so today I pulled out an ‘old familiar friend,‘ my falling apart edition of The Norton Anthology of Poetry so that I could read Margaret Walker‘s poem,👇🏽
Nute For My People. A poem that expresses that people must unite, search for truth, brandish courage and stand up and hope for a world “that will hold all the people, all the faces, all the adams and eves and their countless generations”....in peace, in harmony with love. 5y
Leftcoastzen Beautiful poem! 5y
Leftcoastzen Thanks for posting, it‘s been awhile since I had read it .So powerful. 5y
Nute @Leftcoastzen I agree! Powerful is a very good descriptive word for this poem. It moves me every time that I read it and the passing of time doesn‘t matter...it remains relevant which I guess is a sadness, the fact that people are still having to overcome injustices and unkindness. 5y
