Where Are The Shows?
By Kristin Richardson Jordan
where are the tv shows
showing us how to liberate our hood
showing our people walking free
and our humanity understood
where are the shows
showing our old in all their glory
showing the wisdom of age
and revealing life’s true story
where are the shows
showing us how to unlearn what we’ve been told
shows showing us how to speak up
shows showing us to be bold
where are the shows
with a clear vision of our purposeful past
where are the shows
to inspire our youth to stand fast
where are the shows to make our community last
