POEMS IN HONOR OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HEROES AND CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS: WHAT TODAY'S YOUTH CAN GLEAN FROM THE WISDOM OF OUR ELDERS OF YESTERYEARS TO CARVE A MORE PROMISING PATH FOR THE FUTURE AHEAD

The Book of Poems is a poignant collection of poems that vividly portrays the struggles and triumphs of American heroes of the past. Through powerful verses, the book delves into the historical and contemporary challenges faced by the black community, highlighting the enduring impact of systemic racism and socio-economic disparities. The poems journey back to the Civil Rights Movement, honoring the courageous leaders who fought tirelessly for equality. Iconic events such as the Selma to Montgomery marches are vividly depicted, showcasing the determination and resilience of activists who risked their lives for voting rights. Despite these hard-won victories, the book underscores how these rights are continually undermined by current draconian policies, revealing a persistent struggle for true equality. The collection poignantly reflects on the legacy of slavery, Jim Crow laws, the welfare system, the infiltration of drugs, high incarceration rates, and rampant police shootings. These factors have collectively created a vicious cycle that hampers progress within the black community and destabilizes black families, and in particular, the youth. However, amidst the depiction of these struggles, the book offers a beacon of hope. It celebrates the black heroes who fought for freedom and justice, providing role models for the youth of today to emulate. These civil rights leaders and activists, though imperfect, exemplify the power of sacrifice and perseverance in the quest for equality, justice, and freedom. The poems encourage young black individuals to remember the sacrifices of past leaders, to draw strength from their legacy, and to strive for a brighter future.
