Black History Month

Submitted by SNP on Sat, 02/11/2012 - 8:16am

This poetry challenge is about Black History Month. I challenge you to create a poem that reflects on Black History in America. It can be about what it means to you, how our black history has changed in America or anything else but no hate poems about Black History. Try to stay on point and try to keep it clean. Represent your history my black people. Know your past roots and go after your future in truth. And never be ashamed of the color of your skin. God made us this way and I love it.

Rules:

The poem must be about black history. No black history hate poems allowed. The poem with the most votes wins, although we all winners here . This is about showing African American pride, nothing more, nothing less.

Judging:

The Challenge Creator Will Select The Winner
