Infos

Say it with her now: "e;I love my people!"e;In rhythmic prowess, Kim Singleton recounts the beauty and legacy of Black people who are "e;too many to name, from the corners of obscurity, to the highest of fame."e;I Love My People is a poetic tribute to African American history-makers and culture-shakers, complete with nostalgic photography and vibrant, playful illustration. In the vein of Gill Scott-Heron's poetry of the 1970s, author Kim Singleton invites us into call-and-response and brings a refreshing cadence to the page that captures every decade of Black joy in all its resilient, diverse, and excellent splendor."e;We were told that our bodies weren't built for this art. Rhythmic movement we mastered flowing straight from the heart."e;Singleton shines a light on virtually every facet of Black community life, and unapologetically declares her people good-from the street corner to the White House and everything in between."e;In 1827, Freedom's Journal was born. Black content, Black operated, Black staff, Black owned."e;By the end, you'll be chanting Singleton's anthem, too: "e;I LOVE MY PEOPLE!"e;
