Black History Month - Poetry

[(Anonymous)]

What's everyone's favorite poems by Black authors? Looking to include them in my 11th grade American Literature classroom.

Harlem by Langston Hughes. Actually, Hughes is a fabulous poet and his collected poems are among my favorites.
Still I Rise by Maya Angelou is amazing. I know Caged Bird is more famous, but her poetry is profound and Still I Rise speaks to me more.
I love We Real Cool by Gwendolyn Brooks. It’s short, but it packs a lot into its words.
I like dissecting This is Amerca, the song by Childish Gambino (Donald Glover), as a poem. There’s a lot there.
Good luck!

Benjamin Zephaniah is my favourite Black poet, but he was from Birmingham UK so I'm not sure if he'd qualify to be in an American classroom for Black History month.

A lot of his poetry is designed for performance and there are recordings of him performing it on YouTube and even Wikipedia - a recording of a public performance of Dis Poetry is on his Wikipedia page as a sample of his style.
