And We Rise by Erica Martin

5.0

This was a powerful collection of poems that provides a historical timeline of the civil rights movement including pieces of history that is not often gone over in the classroom. It’s dark and surprising. Some parts are what we all know such as MLK’s assassination and then there’s parts such as the mass murder of teenage boys when a live in school was burned down in the south. It also includes MLK’s letter he wrote while incarcerated.
