Eulogy of Malcolm X / Ossie Davis.
"From the preface by Ossie Davis to the very last poem, this book is a great tribute to a great man, a man who so loved the black and disinherited of this world that he gave his life that they might live their own lives more abundantly. And yet this poems are testaments to his life, not to his death." -- From the book jacket.
"A collection of passionate and powerful poems written by contemporary young poets in eulogy of the assassinated leader of the Black Revolution." -- From Amazon.
These poems focus on themes of racism, black liberation, activism, the Nation of Islam, and resistance to white supremacy. They contain emotional tributes to the life of Malcom X in the immediate aftermath of his death.
