Take A Stand Against Hate (2020)
This virtual reading of "said the band-aid to the shotgun wound" is brought you by the good people at Raven Chronicles and the anthology Take a Stand: Art Against Hate where this poem was published.
I should also thank the "professional development" that was so horrible, it inspired this poem.
But I won't.
“said the band-aid to the shotgun wound”
This poem, originally published in Teaching While Black, explores everything wrong with the application of uncritical anti-bias trainings in public school settings. Or at least what I could fit into one long poem before my head exploded.
I proud to have it included in this anthology.
