"Primer for Blacks" by Gwendolyn Brooks

Being Black is a preoccupation. It’s the job. It’s the title that comes before everything else we answer to in life. Like your Black skin that has no beginning nor end, #BlackIsEternal.

Today’s piece: “Primer for Blacks” by Gwendolyn Brooks. Performed by @iam_marvinyoung

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