An echo of growth: a song on the black family.

After: Lucille Clifton’s Won’t You Celebrate With Me

Written for The NAACP Oneida County Chapter Black History month 2021.

Oneida county is in Utica, a small town in Upstate New York, near and dear to my heart as I grew up there for part of my childhood.

Much thanks to Tabo Bo, from Nomadic Voices, for the special invitation.
