African American poetry encompasses many kinds of verse. Edited by Kevin Young, African American Poetry: 250 Years of Struggle & Song gathers material from 250 Black poets from the colonial period to the present. The volume, published in 2020, is the centerpiece of Lift Every Voice, a national public humanities initiative made possible with #NEHgov support. https://ow.ly/1uWQ50USI3L #BlackHistoryMonth | National Endowment for the Humanities
