I am reading a book on abolition that my hubby gave me at the new year & I see at your link, he's created a poetry collection about the Amistad.<br />This is a wonderful post - praise, & song & prayer.<br />I read all of each of them, with joy.jan godown anninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091996699597066230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-33590206425235395162015-01-03T20:24:56.860-05:002015-01-03T20:24:56.860-05:00Thanks for sharing these three poems--each one see...Thanks for sharing these three poems--each one seems to me to have thoughts of healing and hope.
