There were long moments, for me, during Beyoncé’s The Renaissance World Tour this summer, and also her soul-reviving new concert movie, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, where I just fell silent, gawked, unashamed, into space, wholly transfixed by what I was exposed to, in front of me, around me. Other than, say, Prince, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, and Tina Turner, I have never felt energy like this before from the live performance of a musical artist.

I have started and stopped this essay several times, actually did not want to write it at first.

At the hands of despicable White supremacists like Emmett Till.

LUIS J. RODRIGUEZ is a poetry and community national treasure. As we continue to celebrate April being #NationalPoetryMonth it is so important that we acknowledge voices often ignored, even erased, but who refuse to be invisible. Or silenced. https://t.co/nt1Kgrv4nh
FANNIE LOU HAMER IS POETRY. Don’t think so? Means you do not know her speeches, her life, her work for freedom and justice for us all, and you do not understand the people’s poetry or know history either. Because poetry is about being free, in all forms. #NationalPoetryMonth https://t.co/SZE7pzJlny
