The Law of Brown Bodies


She does not know

Her beauty,
She thinks her brown body
Has no glory.
If she could dance
Naked,
Under palm trees
And see her image in the river
She would know.
But there are no palm trees
On her street, 
and dishwater gives back no images.”

" Images" by Nina Simone, words by William Waring Cuney


"If I could have convinced more slaves that they were slaves, I could have freed thousands more."
Harriet Tubman
