Message to my ancestors and to my people from Africa to the panthers

This creative project has been a poetic attempt to deal with the inner experience of black culture. Many schools of thought have been explored in relating the peculiar plight and circumstances that surround the black man in American society today. This study follows the conditions and thoughts of the black man during slavery up until the present day in America. The topics explored are: On Slavery, On The Ghetto, On Equality, On The Believers, On Black Education And Miseducation, and On Black Beauty.Much of the poetry and interpretations in this creative project speaks directly to black people. However, a large proportion speaks directly to white people; hopefully it will stir both race's social imagination to right the critical racial problems that plague the United States.
