Protown Spoken Word Poetry:
Poems inspired by Black Men Can Fly: The Story of George S. Lima

Protown Princes of Poetry (PPP): The inception of Princes of Poetry took place in a small downtown studio above the Cuban Revolution located in the heart of the theatre district of Providence, Rhode Island. Filmmaker, producer/singer/songwriter, and activist, Napoleon X invited four poets; Lawrence Nunes, Christopher Johnson, Yunus Quddus, and Marlon Carey, to each write a poem based on and inspired by his short-documentary film, Black Men Can Fly.

The film briefly illustrates how George S. Lima, a black aviator (Tuskegee Airman), educator and activist overcame poverty, prejudice, adversity and ignorance to become an American hero. During the process of composing their individual poems based on Lima's life, the artists discovered that many of Lima's life experiences mirrored their own lives. This common thread became the impetus for joining forces to form a collective performance group. The original group, Protown Princes of Poetry, is now called Spittin' Images. The original members are Lawrence Nunes, Christopher Johnson, and Yunus Quddus.
