In the tradition of Maya Angelouâs Phenomenal Woman, best-selling author Pearl Cleage brings us an inspiring poem for all women, destined to become a classic.
Cleage refers to We Speak Your Names as a âcelebrationâ which is part of an oral tradition that encompasses the entire history of the African-American experience. This tradition, she says, grew out of an understanding that âsome things must be spoken out loud to get where the magic is.â What results is a praise poem which acknowledges the legacy of those who have gone before, and a realization, âwith a knowing deeper than the flow of human blood in human veins, that we are part of something better, truer, deeper.â
About: Presents the poem written for Oprah Winfrey's historic Legends Weekend in May 2005 that expresses a collective thank-you to twenty-five legendary African American women, including Maya Angelou, Ruby Dee, Rosa Parks, and Alice Walker.
