This man should be appointed as a "Poet Laureate" for the United States.


I think his poetry could be taught in schools in decades to come as a reason why America survived the 2020s.

Quote:
yes, learn about slavery, the Confederation, and Jim Crow
but also learn about
Garrison, Gettysburg, and Harriet Beecher Stowe
learn about lynchings, plantations, and segregation
but also about emancipation, the Cold War
and the greatest generation
learn about our most egregious breaches of freedom
learn them so well
that we'll never feel the need to repeat them
learn about the courage and the passion that we unleashed to defeat them
learn about the failures and successes of America
learn how they've both been twisted
learn about what the world would look like today if America never existed

I started writing quotes I wanted to pull out of this, but there were too many to choose from.

Very eloquent, and talented. He could be a modern day Thomas Paine.

I am convinced that inspiration is a real thing. I believe words are given at opportune times because they need to be heard. I sincerely hope his words will be heard far and wide.
