All over the United States, a new generation of poets is emerging. This new HBO series captures teenagers picking up the pen and taking hold of the microphone with passion, intelligence, creativity, honesty and power.
These voices of 21st Century America transcend race, class, gender, orientation, and red state/blue state politics as they show us all what the next generation of leaders looks and sounds like.

2020 and this poem has gotten more and more relevant by the year
Sean Bells daughter Jada Bell graduates high school this year. May God bless her and the family. May she rise against the obstacles of this nation❤️
I'm just afraid to raise a black son! Honestly, if any Black woman says she's not she's lying! Growing up Black in a White Supremacist America is hard but raising a child that you know may not make it to 16 based upon his or her skin color is terrifying! This is an amazing poem about the truth!
kitty johnston My sentiments exactly. And now our black girls are missing and being found dead in freezers and abandoned buildings...smh.
Damn IAM 6yrs to late u was fine 😉
"What do you mean go back to where you came from? My ancestors worked hard to build this country! Brick by brick School by School"!!!! Loved it!!!!
I remember watching this episode. I can't believe 8 years later and this is still happening
Check back in another 8 if u surprised about that🤷
This video will forever be relevant. In the face of the sickening Ferguson Decision, I had to revisit this piece. Thank you Alysia, Josh, Hasan for speaking for Sean Bell and every other black man killed by a cop (and never received justice). Thank you.
the Ferguson decision was 100% correct. You are drawing the wrong conclusion, blame the black culture for their own actions. Mike Brown would never have been shot if he didn't assault that cop.
The only people putting blacks on the "indangered species list" is other black people. Get that strait and stop being racist.
degen83 endangered*, straight*. If I had the time, I would also correct your comma splices, but alas, I don't; apparently English is on the endangered language list.
Black culture is what killed Mike Brown, Trayvon Martin, Sean Bell, and countless other black folks? Then what about Tamir Rice (the 12-year-old black boy killed by a white cop) and other black boys who have been targeted by the police with undue cause?
Black culture isn't killing black men. White culture is killing black men. White culture invented, nurtured, and fed into the criminalization of black men and boys alike. That's the problem and it's ridiculous to say otherwise, therefore, my original comment (that you thought to pathetically rebut) is relevant and still stands.
degen83 it's because of people with your ignorance that America will forever be racist. IGNORANCE IS A DISEASE, GET WELL SOON.

Me calling blacks out on their racism is not me being racist.
degen83 The ism in race means system PR ideology.
Now, who made this racial system in america? White people. White people set up system that would cater to them, a system meant to "keep us in pur place." How can we be a part of a system that was made to detriment of us? We can surely be prejudice, but is that really a problem? We're in a country that demeans our culture and race in a way that even have some blacks hating themselves. The fact that you are even ignorant of a system that has been in place for centuries speaks for itself.
Ive watched this several hundred times. How can we get this to go viral today!?
This Spoken Word performed by a group of teens from Philadelphia. The poem focused on the killing of Sean Bell. This poem emphasizes the danger that African American men and women face because of the stigma that is carried among the race. The poem emphasizes the emotional toll that it takes on those who loose loved ones because of police brutality of these so called "thugs".
This is still relevant. :( #AltonSterling #PhilandoCostile
Still relevant. Breonna Taylor, George Floyd
Tiffany Allen 💔 my heart hurts
2021 and I still cry from this, like I did when it first premiered

I have listened to this spoken word so many times and each time it gives me goosebumps.
12th Anniversary of his death....may he forever live on #SayHisName
Rip Sean Bell. We love u, bro
Had to rewatch this, so many year after. I remember the first time I watched this, it stayed with me. I had to find it again. "I'm just afraid to raise a black son" sigh. #blacklivesmatter
Its heartbreaking that years later and this poem is even more relevant than it was when they wrote and performed it. 😔
Watching this in today’s time hurts so bad.
I seen this when it aired on tv & I’m still watching to this day
Never forgotten.
This makes me cry , especially with the thought of Trayvon
Speechless.
....I still get goosebumps and an instant lump grows in my throat when I hear the first stanza....I've never forgotten a word of it
That was so amazing! Brought tears to my eyes. Emotion channeled into poetry so well that it was almost unreal so eloquently put!!

The one in the middle accent was sexy..
And Alysia's voice left me speechless...
Alysia Harris! she's amazing!!
Forever one of my favorites !!
So powerful, I listen to this every morning before school, I know every word, Amazing!

The fact that she's kind of sick/raspy makes the poem so much better.
"I'm just afraid to raise a black son!" ONE OF THE BEST PARTS

I almost cryed when she said "I stand in the morgue with my would be husband where we take our would be wedding pictures see when u die unjustly in this country everything is a would be"
I always believed that Joshua Bennett was a calm person, I still believe that but WOW he is amazing. Same for Alysia
I swear this thing gives me goosebumps every time I hear it

Trayvon Martin
Oh my god wow
Really great video!
They're trying to put us on the endangered species list. That was deep!
Its sad how relevant this poem is not with the Trayvon Martin, the Oscar Grant case, Emmett Till, Michael Lembhard and so many others. I pray for my community. Something has to give.
is there a transcript of this anywhere?
Rest in Power Trayvon Martin
Unfortunate that this is still relevant today 😢
does anyone know where I could find the lyrics/words to this? doing a school assignment on it and don't really wanna have to right it out word or word.....
