This is not a small voice

Celebrate one of the most important writers and scholars of the Black Arts Movement, Sonia Sanchez. Throughout a distinguished career of 70+ years, her poetry has rocked the spoken-word scene and our nation. Join us as we give well-deserved flowers to this revolutionary voice of activism, Black identity and social justice. Sanchez herself will take the stage, along with special guests the Christian McBride Trio, Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka, Saul Williams, Mahogany L. Browne and The Last Poets. “This is not a small voice you hear this is a large voice coming out of these cities.” –Sonia Sanchez
