What a treat we had today as Frank X. Walker, founder of the Affrilachian poetry movement, shared with us some of his poetry and related it to our ongoing quest for racial reconciliation.
Mr. Walker read to us his poem "Amazing Grace" and shared parts of an unpublished manuscript on the death of Medgar Evers.
Mr. Walker apologized to those of us expecting a sermon but said that perhaps his poetry would do some of the things a sermon did. I believe it did.
Go out into the world.
