Celebrating 50 Years After MLK Speech
Conjuring Love
Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
We gathered under his voice
because he had the courage
to bare our sorrows
humanizing our dark skin.
He taught us
to stand for peace
without fear
to let go of the shame
and fight for equality.
We followed him
because he walked his dreams
and dared to fight back
against a system
that killed
to keep us out
of their apple pie reveries
He conjured love
that moved the world
leaving our children
with a martyr
that can never be
silenced or denied.
