This effort was inspired by a conversation that a co-worker and I were having one day about Black History. We were seeing how many little known figures we could come up with and Nat Turner’s name surfaced. After getting in depth about what we knew about him, my “creative lightbulb” was activated, and this poem is a direct result.
We did not vote an individual in office who was not a citizen. This "Birther" conversation should have never been discussed in the mainstream. I believe America looked foolish to the rest of the world for entertaining this topic. If we did elect a President who is truly not a legal citizen, the Federal Government would be responsible for the negligence. -Tony Hanes, Poet.
