About This Book

From NPR correspondent and New York Times bestselling author, Kwame Alexander, comes a powerful and provocative collection of poems that cut to the heart of the entrenched racism and oppression in America and eloquently explores ongoing events. A book in the tradition of James Baldwin's "A Report from Occupied Territory, " Light for the World to See is a rap session on race. A lyrical response to the struggles of Black lives in our world... to America's crisis of conscience... to the centuries of loss, endless resilience, and unstoppable hope. Includes an introduction by the author and a bold, graphically designed interior.

Chapter 3. The Undefeated.
This is for the
unforgettable.
The swift and sweet ones
who hurdled history
and opened a world
of possible.
THE ONES WHO SURVIVED AMERICA BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.
AND THE ONES WHO DIDN’T.
THIS IS FOR THE UNDENIABLE. THE ONES WHO SCORED WITH CHAINS ON ONE HAND AND FAITH IN THE OTHER.
This is for the
unflappable.
The sophisticated ones
who box adversity
and tackle vision
who shine
their light for the world to see
and don’t stop
’til the break of dawn.
