Got Something to Say

About the Book

Got Something to Say is a compilation of poems written over many years by the author whose thought-provoking words speak to both the beauty and the ugliness of life. An active participant in the civil rights movement, her poems primarily reflect the injustices that plague African Americans and her desire to promote awareness. Her strong beliefs in family and God are well represented as well as her creative expression. Readers will find her language to be strong but sincere, meditative but uplifting, and angry but passionate as she presents her observations on life.
