Celebrating the Spoken Word: "My Mama's So Black" (Michael Harriot)



Michael Harriot is a local spoken word artist. I first heard him at the Downtown Public Library in Birmingham at their monthly "Bards and Brews" poetry presentation. His heartfelt stories in poetry draw me in and have a powerful impact every time I hear him. There are many of his poetry slam presentations on YouTube. I am sharing this one from the 2017 Individual World Poetry Slam Finals in Spokane, Washington with his poem, "My Mama's So Black."
