I have read this book many times and every time I could hear his conviction, charisma and urgency in his voice as my eyes focused on every word that was transcribed. With every turn of the page, I felt hope in the weight of every thought he articulated like the true man of the people he was.

I wondered in my Black molasses skin as I heard Louis' raspy voice lull 'What a wonderful world'. Did he wear some kind of special glasses? That blotted out our oppression and separation of classes? The rioting and brutality the police issued Because today, I don't see trees of green, red roses too. I see the poor turning green with envy… [ 533 more words ]

As part of our discussion at our Dine and Discuss event, we went around spoke our dreams, hope and desires for Black Britain's future in the next 50 years. It was an emotionally charged moment and we all had burning hot aspirations for our people.

His collections were powerful but stoic with a hint of remarkable storytelling magic. [ 41 more words ]
