Poetry

Nigerian born spoken artist Bassey Ikpi in her poem, Diallo, dealing with racial profiling and unmet justice in the death of Amadou Diallo in New York.  Speaking of the mothers of young men killed because of racial profiling, and courtrooms that acquit their killers, she asks the audience, "Who will acquit her [the mother] of her grief?"  Uploaded by kfc123 in January 2007.
