This book turns key dates/events of the civil rights movement during the 50s and 60s into poems.

Erica is a super talented poet and does a really great job of turning historical events into powerful poems. I'm super picky about poetry, but these poems aren't only very well written, but they use blank space and format to really give what the words say a punch.

I'm from Memphis, Tennessee, a place that was part of the deep South, JCLs, and where MLK was killed. So in a time where MATHEMATICS books are being banned in schools for "teaching CRT" this book is even more important than ever.
