POET’S NOTE:
“As a child of immigrants, I have a deep respect for the lengths a human will go in order to be free. My American journey is rooted in the pursuit of an equitable cultural horizon, and the pathway to get there is undergirded by a road paved with the promise of democracy. Can that democracy survive, if we cannot forgive?”
-Marc Bamuthi Joseph
