I first wrote a version of this poem in August of 2014, shortly after learning of the murder of Mike Brown. I, like the rest of the nation, watched as Ferguson erupted into protest and the steady demand for justice. I write to remember what my heart will never forget. There have been and continue to be more names and more stories added to the historical memory of injustice. Black lives still matter.
