BLACKwordsMATTER

Friday 28 October, 7.30pm

‘Mother, mother. There’s too many of you crying. Brother, brother, brother. There’s far too many of you dying…’ (Marvin Gaye, What’s going on)

 

Black History Month couldn’t be complete in 2016 without reference to the Black Lives Matter movement happening in both the US and here. There are many ways to examine and rage about the reality of racism in society, whether through protest, song or the written word. Brixton Library is therefore throwing the microphone open to a poetic response to examining what’s going on. Poets and performers are coming together to speak through spoken word. If you would like to add your poem do get in touch. For further information contact Tim O’Dell on to’dell@lambeth.gov.uk.
