BLM at School: Spoken Word Project - "Gone"

2 years ago

A video excerpt from "Growing Young Voices: Understanding Black Lives Matter for Teachers".

For their culminating project, groups of fifth grade students memorized and recited original spoken word poems. In this poem called "Gone", students connect the torture and murder of Emmett Till to more recent deaths of black victims, asserting that in all these cases "these people only got killed because of the color of their skin".

From the National Association of Independent Schools' People of Color Conference 2019.
