It’s very much possible to be both deeply in love with someone and also deeply openly critical. Until the criticism of America’s flaws are accepted, we’ll never truly heal. But we won’t wait another minute to remind you that #BlackIsEternal.

Today’s piece: “America” (1921) by Claud McKay. Performed by @senorguapo713.

We’re celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth and everyday we’re highlighting literary pieces written by iconic Black writers. Black Is Eternal is proudly sponsored by @historygroomingco.
