[Brave New Voices]Philly: Sean Bell

Russell Simmons presents Brave New Voices

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.

The only way to dislike this is if your racist, otherwise u really understood these words. Some racists say things about us blacks and don't realize how much it hurts.. Were people too and deserve just as much respect as u do. Please can't we ever live in equality ?

It is time for people to get comfortable in their own skin.. it is time to learn that until we can talk openly about race then it will always be an issue.. Be comfortable in your skin! Lets talk open and honest! Lets be real and love each other differences..

Yo...you should have "FULL POEM" to the title because when they shown this on HBO they left most of the poem out! :)
