  • Bro you hit this dead on. It's great to see her words touch not only different generations, but multiple races as well. Nicely done

  • Ulrich's articulation and his reading of one my favorite

    poems by the late Brooks was inspiring. Thank you

    so much for reviving a classic in such a unique fashion.

  • Touching video, well done

    The way you read it was unique and made sense considering your life

  • This is Hip Hop

  • @LuckyStarr22

    Very good, and great pictures - I am going to use The Opposite of a Dream Deferred in my US History class. Thanks for posting it.

  • Hi, can you check out my poetry song!!!

    Thanks & leave comments!!!

  • man the connection you made to that poem is tragic yet so hopeful!

    still one of the best poems ever

  • i read this poem in my poetry class

  • This is really honest, and moving. I haven't gone through this stuff, no mass suicides, but I think that the way that you have, and the way that you're trying to help, is very admirable.

    I'm not sure about how you say the poem, because it sounds weird the musical way that you said it.

    Oh well this vid moved me, and I'd like to thank you for posting it.
