Turning Page April 2024

April is National Poetry Month. Treat yourself to listening to or reading aloud a poem from a plethora of African American poets- Langston Hughes, Lucille Clifton, Haki Madhubuti, Sonia Sanchez, Amanda Gorman, and many others.

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.” James Baldwin
