Bessie Smith
The drum, the beat, the cool, the call back...
Voices that surpass the trauma of oppression, poverty
Reach into the ancestral pulse,
Establishing the greatest of American Arts;
Stories echo through generations of Blackness;
Withstanding brutality to emerge with vitality,
Victorious in the annuals of world culture, always.
