Harlem Renaissance (Black History Month) [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Here is a short poem about one of my favorite eras in American Black History.
Harlem Renaissance
There was music everywhere
maybe it was jazz
maybe it was the blues
maybe it was the language spoke
like the poetry of Langston Hughes.
Maybe it was the feeling
of not having to pretend
where you could just be you.
It was owning something
all our own
a spot where we were not,
strangers undesirable,
but home –
Harlem Home.
