Black poetry is a powerful and important art form that has played a significant role in documenting the experiences of Black people throughout history. From its origins in the oral traditions of enslaved Africans to its current manifestations in spoken word and slam poetry, Black poetry has been a way for Black people to assert their humanity, celebrate their culture, and resist their oppressors. Today, Black poetry continues to thrive as a vibrant and diverse art form, with poets exploring new forms, styles, and themes to speak to the experiences of Black people in the 21st century.
