Patricia Smith is a poet, educator, author, spoken word artist, and playwright. In this segment, she discusses the opportunities we have daily with language power.
What shall I give my children? who are poor,
Who are adjudged the leastwise of the land,
Who are my sweetest lepers, who demand
No velvet and no velvety velour;
But who... WHAT SHALL I GIVE MY CHILDREN by Gwendolyn Brooks.
